connectivity

To begin trading on Quote MTF, two major connections must be established.


Order entry

Quote MTF offers two methods for subscribers to send order messages: FIX 4.2 or Qdirect.


Data Dissemination

Complete order book information is distributed via ITCH 3.0* and 4.0 formats to both subscribers and vendors via QTP MultiCast. Optionally, we support unicast using SOUP TCP.

*Please note that ITCH 3.0 support will end in the near future.

The Quote MTF matching engine is hosted at Interxion, London at 11 Hanbury Street. Trade orders, execution reports and all related data are exchanged between the Quote MTF trading platform and subscribers via Extranet or Independent Service Providers. Subscribers may choose from a wide range of connectivity options; from connection through network providers to a 10 Gb/s cross-connect within Interxion data centres.
