New FIXTGW Version 7.0

Patsystems has released the latest version of our FIXTGW software which runs on an updated version of the Patsystems API (version 9.0). The new API incorporates java technology and is already integrated into our J-Trader and Pro-Mark Trading GUI’s.   This new version of the API enables faster download times for the FIXTrading Gateway and enhanced reliability for high transaction loads.

Trading API Version 9.0 (Beta)

As per the release above, Patsystems intends to offer our latest version of the API to our existing Client Trading API Developers.  The Client Trading API version 9.0 (Beta) is now available for testing and will go into full release in Q1 2011. From a development point of view, the new API incorporates the same messaging structures used in previous versions, so upgrading to version 9.0 will require little or no changes.

Access to the beta program will be restricted; if you are interested in taking part, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it making sure you include your application name and licence details.
