System Components
REST Entry Gateways
- Requests are routed through Cloudflare.
- Requests are processed on a FIFO basis with no queuing.
- REST requires additional authentication because it’s stateless (as opposed to FIX order gateways, which authenticate during login).
FIX Order Gateways
- The gateway forwards orders to the engine without waiting for an acknowledgement of the previous order, so multiple orders may be in transit to the engine concurrently.
- Orders are not guaranteed to reach the engine in the order the client sent them, and acknowledgements are not guaranteed to be returned in the order requests were submitted. Clients should correlate responses by
ClOrdID.
- Inbound messages are subject to per-session rate limits. See FIX API Rate Limits.
Order Entry Gateway (Risk System)
- Each instance processes requests from FIX Order Gateways and REST in real time with no queuing.
- System performs real-time risk checks and account collateralization.
Trade Engine
- Clustered service that guarantees FIFO sequencing at a product level.
- Processes all requests from Order Entry Gateway.
- Publishes market data to WebSocket / FIX Market Data.
Market Data (Websocket & FIX)
- Each instance can process all market data requests across all products.
- Messages are distributed to customers randomly, and there is no intended benefit to being “first to subscribe”.
