Get credentials¶

You can find the FIX API credentials directly in the cTrader settings. Select the Cog icon in the bottom left and select FIX API from the settings menu.

There are 2 types of connection, price connection and trade connection, and each type has its own separate set of credentials. Trading operations requests cannot be sent through the price connection's credentials and vice versa. Use the Copy button to copy the desired credentials.

Select Change password to change the password for your FIX API credentials.

FIX symbol ID¶

Each symbol has a unique ID, which is required to identify it in the FIX messages. You can find the FIX symbol ID in each symbol’s information window. In Active Symbol Panel, scroll down to the Symbol info dropdown and select it to open the current symbol’s information window.

At the bottom of the Symbol info window, you will find the FIX symbol ID.
