Is there a way to specify an Allocation Block when using the FIX interface?

Thank you.

Unfortunately, we don't provide allocation blocks via FIX for now.

We received the following from the broker who is asking us about Account allocation blocks:

We do have some time until this solution is needed and as I discussed this with the client, he would be willing to put some money in the development of this.


Is it realistic that this capability would come sometime in a few months?

Thank You,

We placed allocation blocks in FIX to our development queue. I think in a couple weeks you will be able to play with it in API environment

Thank you for this. We are going to be working on it when we can.

We are also going to be finishing up our FIX integration and FAST Market data integration. We have been working on our own encoder and decoder for FAST.

We hope to have all of this released within about a month.

Thank You,
