Take a bow to the speed of execution where trades are opened and closed within 1 ms. That is a cross connected system on LD4. This is not possible on a MT4 orĀ  MT5 or Ctrader or any broker platform which will take seconds to process a order.

Please read the note below highlighting why HFT system should be run on FIX 4.4

High-Frequency Trading (HFT) refers to the practice of executing a large number of trades at very high speeds, often leveraging complex algorithms to identify and capitalize on small price discrepancies in financial markets. FIX (Financial Information Exchange) protocol is a widely used messaging standard in the financial industry that facilitates the real-time exchange of information related to trading activities.

While there is no definitive answer that FIX 4.4 is the absolute best protocol for Forex trading in all scenarios, there are several reasons why it has been a popular choice, especially for HFT in the Forex market:

  1. Low Latency: FIX 4.4 is designed to be a low-latency protocol, meaning it can process messages quickly. In HFT, every millisecond counts, and the ability to transmit and receive data rapidly is crucial to take advantage of fleeting opportunities in the Forex market.
  2. Standardization: FIX 4.4 provides a standardized messaging format, which means that trading platforms, brokers, and other financial institutions can easily communicate and understand each other's messages. This standardization reduces the risk of errors and streamlines the integration process.
  3. Extensive Industry Adoption: FIX protocol has been widely adopted by the financial industry for many years, and as a result, many trading platforms and liquidity providers offer FIX 4.4 connectivity. This wide acceptance makes it easier for HFT firms to connect to multiple venues and access liquidity efficiently.
  4. Market Data Support: FIX 4.4 includes messages specifically designed for market data, allowing HFT firms to receive real-time price updates and order book information from multiple sources simultaneously.
  5. High Throughput: HFT strategies involve handling a large number of orders and messages in a short period. FIX 4.4 is designed to handle high message throughput efficiently, making it suitable for HFT strategies that generate a substantial trading volume.
  6. Efficient Order Routing: HFT strategies often involve executing trades across multiple venues to take advantage of price discrepancies. FIX 4.4 supports efficient order routing capabilities, allowing HFT firms to quickly execute trades on different Forex platforms.

It's essential to note that while FIX 4.4 offers several advantages for HFT in the Forex market, the choice of protocol may also depend on other factors, such as the specific trading strategy, the technology stack used by the firm, and the infrastructure of the Forex broker or liquidity provider. As technology evolves, newer versions or alternative protocols may also emerge to meet the evolving needs of the HFT community.
