Hi, we've been facing some problems with the test environment. There's difference between route orders via FIX and use the OEC API directly?

How it works behind the scenes?

what's better/fast?

Hi, the difference is just protocols of front-end servers (FIX or proprietary one).

From performance standpoint - they are equal.

What is better from development standpoint - I think it depends on your business needs. You can send me a private message with details and I will glad to recommend the best way.
