Notes

Username and Password

https://docs.b2c2.net/#username-553-and-password-554

The Username(553) tag of the Logon message should be set to the username of a user on your account which is used to log in to the B2C2 OTC website. The API token for this user should be used for the tag Password(554). Do not use your password for your OTC user account here. To locate your API token please go the top right hand corner, open the drop down, and select “API token”.

Executing a FOK order

FOK order is either immediately executed in full or rejected. The executed price may be better than the price requested on the FOK.

The EffectiveTime (168) tag can be set to define an expiry time for FOK orders, protecting against severe latency or accidental resubmission.

Acceptable Slippage

Slippage can be specified on:

• Order level - via custom attribute (8001)
• Instrument level - via b2c2Slippage column in securities stream
• Connector level - via slippage settings

Symbology

https://docs.b2c2.net/#quoting-and-trading-conventions

Symbols follow the format (BASECCY)(COUNTERCCY).(TYPE), where:

• (BASECCY) is the base currency
• (COUNTERCCY) is the counter currency
• (TYPE) is SPOT or CFD

For example, BTCUSD.SPOT is spot Bitcoin against the US dollar.
