Connectivity

Bullish offers a variety of network connectivity options which include AWS private link and GCP private service connect. Please contact your Bullish relationship manager for details and to discuss which is suitable for you.

Message Recovery

Bullish requires sequence numbers to be reset on each reconnect.

Cancel on Disconnect

Order entry sessions automatically cancel all open orders on disconnect. This behavior is not configurable.

note

Please note that cancel on disconnect behavior is tied to trading account id. On session disconnect, it will cancel all open orders on that trading account id. This will also cancel any open orders entered from another active session that used the same trading account id.

Post Only Orders

Bullish FIX supports PostOnly orders.

Order Replacement

The Bullish platform supports order amendment.
Replacement of partially filled orders is not allowed; such requests will be rejected.

Current supported amendment features:

• Only GTC orders (Limit or Post-only) are eligible for amendment.
• Only the following fields are amendable: price, quantity
• QuantityFilled of the original order = 0 (Partially filled order amendment not supported)
• There is no limit on how many times an order can be amended

Symbology

Instruments are identified by a mnemonic in <base_ccy><quote_ccy> format, e.g. BTCUSD for Bitcoin quoted in US Dollar.

Schedule

The Bullish API is available 24/7/365.
Planned maintenance windows are communicated to clients in advance. \
