xPro FIX API

The xPro FIX API gives institutional clients direct FIX 4.4 access to xPro — XBTFX’s institutional-grade execution venue. It is intended for prime brokers, hedge funds, HFT firms, and other professional clients that already integrate with FIX-based liquidity providers.

The protocol is FIX 4.4. This documentation assumes familiarity with FIX; see the FIX Trading Community for general protocol references.

What’s covered

Section titled “What’s covered”

Monitoring exposure in the Web UI

While your FIX session is active, you can monitor account status and exposure from the XBTFX client portal:

  1. Sign in at my.xbtfx.com

The xPro panel reflects live activity from your FIX session — open orders, positions, and exposure update in real time once the session is active.
