Trading (FIX)
Trading for market makers is done via FIX, not REST. You use two separate gateway connections:
- Order Entry Gateway — submit and manage orders
- Market Data Gateway — receive market data
FIX credentials and session setup are separate from Partner API (REST) credentials. After institutional onboarding, Figure Markets coordinates with you on FIX integration and IP whitelisting for the FIX gateways.

We can expand this page with more in-doc content (e.g. session lifecycle, order entry vs market data) later.
