Getting Started

FIX Integration efforts are handled by the Interactive Brokers (IBKR) Fix Engineering team (who can be reached at [email protected]). For a basic understanding of FIX protocol, its history, and its uses, please review this link: https://www.fixtrading.org/what-is-fix/

To view the IB FIX Specification Guide, go to www.ibkr.com/fixctci and select “I agree” under the section “FIX/CTCI Users’ Guide Disclaimer” at the bottom of the page.

While Interactive Brokers does follow the FIX standard, it is important to remember that all FIX tags from 5000-9999 are custom values. As such, it is recommended to review the IBKR FIX Manual to inspect unique tags to Interactive Brokers.
