Notes

Throttle Limits

The following throttle limits are applied at the FIX ID level and are administered by EDX market operations.

  • Maximum messages per account: 1000 messages per 5 seconds.
  • If the throttle limit is exceeded, the session will be disconnected with reason RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED.

Cancel On Disconnect

Cancel on Disconnect is enabled by default for all FIX Order Entry sessions.
Upon disconnect, all GTD/GTT orders are cancelled; GTC orders remain on the book.

Self Trade Prevention Type

Defines the self trade operation which will be used if the exchange self-trade-prevention functionality is triggered on this order. If this order would execute against opposite side resting interest with the same self-trade prevention identifier, the specified behavior is triggered.

Note: If this setting is specified, the Self Trade Prevention Group ID must also be specified.

Self Trade Prevention Type can be configured globally via the selfTradePrevention setting or per order via order attribute 21001.
