Managing LP connections

Establish a new FIX connection to B2CONNECT Liquidity Hub

You can configure a new FIX connection to the B2CONNECT Liquidity Hub directly from the BP Admin panel.

First, you need to request FIX connection parameters from the B2CONNECT team, for both Trading and Market Data sessions. Once you obtain the parameters, configure a new connection to the Maker in the Admin panel:

1

Go to FIX connections > Maker, and then click Add connection.

2

In the popup that opens, fill in the following fields:

• Gateway type (required): Select B2CONNECT Liquidity Hub.

• Session type (required): There are two types of sessions: Market Data and Trading. For A-Book trading, both should be created. For the B-Book model, only the Market Data session is required.

3

Click Create.

4

In the popup that opens, fill in the Session name (required) with any value to help you identify the connection. Fill in the remaining connection parameters with the values passed to you by the B2CONNECT team.

5

If configuring a connection for A-Book trading, repeat steps 1 to 4 to create another session type: if you initially created a Market Data session, create a Trading session next, and vice versa.

After the connections on both sides are established, B2CONNECT starts providing market data to the BP, all A-Book orders placed on the linked BP are sent to B2CONNECT.

The connections can be disabled from either side, Maker or Taker, at any time. Disabling a connection doesn't lead to market disabling: change the market status to Disabled if needed.
