Electronic Trading Protocol
FIX protocol Engine: software for algorithmic HFT trading

For profit, you need the speed of receipt and transfer of quotes at the level of milliseconds and the frequency of transactions, which is not subject to the usual trader.
In financial markets, high-frequency trading (HFT) is a type of algorithmic trading characterized by high speeds, high turnover rates, and high order-to-trade ratios that leverages high-frequency financial data and electronic trading tools.
