ActiveX: For individual traders who want to write to the front-end to run their programs. There is no additional cost for ActiveX – only the monthly platform fee.

FIX API: Sterling Trader’s low latency API has processing speeds under 100 microseconds and the capacity to handle up to 10,000 orders per second. Users can connect directly to the Sterling Trading Engine via multiple channels using industry standard Fix 4.2 protocol.

FIX API is for institutional customers (including broker/dealers) who may be using their own front-end platforms and wish to write to Sterling Trader to route their orders through our gateway. Since Vision is a self-clearing broker/dealer, all trades executed through our gateway with Sterling Trader will clear through our membership at the Depository Trust Corporation and/or the Options Clearing Corporation.

Note that institutional clients also have the option to connect through Sterling Trader’s API, but utilize a different execution source than Vision’s own gateway. In this case Vision would still clear the trades once executed. Please contact us for more information on either scenario or if you are interested in learning more about our fully-disclosed and omnibus clearing services.
