Welcome to the Saxo Direct FIX API Specification.
Saxo Bank provides multi-asset liquidity via our FIX 4.4 API.
Connection can be established via VPN as well as cross connect in LD4 and LD5 centers.
The FIX session runs continuously from 5:00:00 AEST Monday to 17:00:00 EST/EDT Friday with no daily sequence number reset.
Sequence numbers must be reset on weekends (at the first logon after the weekend).
Clients can connect to Saxo's FIX API at any time during general opening hours. Log off can happen at any time.
