The integration journey
Which partner are you?
ISV
An Independent Software Vendor provides the software experience for retail traders. Not a broker.
IB
An Introducing Broker integrates the same way, plus carries CFTC/NFA regulatory obligations.
FCM
A Futures Commission Merchant connects and clears differently. See the FCM guide.
IBs and ISVs integrate identically — same APIs and same workflow. The difference is legal classification. FCMs are handled separately.
