QuickFix (Beta)
Discover more about the QuickFix connector and how to use it on the Digibee Integration Platform.
QuickFix sends and receives financial messages using the FIX (Financial Information eXchange) protocol, which is a global standard for real-time electronic trading communication. It enables the integration of trading systems and financial institutions with brokers, exchanges, and other market participants.
