FIX sessions

In thıs section you can observe broker FIX sessions. These are FIX sessions that refer to all accounts of a particular broker, not to a specific account individually. Broker sessions specifically have no type. They are used to send data to back-office systems. FIX broker sessions always send trades and can also send swap and netting data but they do not send market data or orders. These sessions are adjusted to the format of the back-office of the particular broker.
