IEX Trading

IEX A Fair, Simple, Transparent Exchange.

IEX is a stock exchange based in the United States. Started by Brad Katsuyama, it opened for trading on October 25, 2013. The company’s offices are located at 4 World Trade Center in New York City. The matching engine is located across the Hudson River in Weehawken, New Jersey, and the initial point of presence is located in a data center in Secaucus, New Jersey. IEX's main innovation is a 38-mile coil of optical fiber placed in front of its trading engine. This 350 microsecond delay adds a round-trip delay of 0.0007 seconds and is designed to negate the certain speed advantages utilized by some high-frequency traders.

IEX was created in response to questionable trading practices that had become widely used across traditional public Wall Street exchanges as well as dark pools and other alternative trading systems. The IEX exchange aims to attract investors by promising to "play fair" by operating in a transparent and straightforward manner, while also helping to level the playing field for traders. Strategies to achieve those goals include:

• Publishing the matching rules used in the exchanges's computerized order matching engine.
• Offering a limited number of simple and familiar order types.
• Charging fixed fees on most orders (or a flat percentage rate on small orders).
• Ensuring market pricing data arrives at external points of presence simultaneously.
• Slightly delaying market pricing data to all customers (no colocation).
• Refusing to pay for order flow.

How to

IEX Cloud (iexcloud.io) requests

Synchronous call

To build request use classes that extend IEXCloudV1RestRequest interface. Secret token is required only for Account calls, otherwise you can provide just publishable token. Example request:

final IEXCloudClient cloudClient = IEXTradingClient.create(IEXTradingApiVersion.IEX_CLOUD_BETA_SANDBOX,
              new IEXCloudTokenBuilder()
                      .withPublishableToken("Tpk_18dfe6cebb4f41ffb219b9680f9acaf2")
                      .withSecretToken("Tsk_3eedff6f5c284e1a8b9bc16c54dd1af3")
                      .build());
final Quote quote = cloudClient.executeRequest(new QuoteRequestBuilder()
        .withSymbol("AAPL")
        .build());
System.out.println(quote);

Batch call

final IEXCloudClient cloudClient = IEXTradingClient.create(IEXTradingApiVersion.IEX_CLOUD_BETA_SANDBOX,
              new IEXCloudTokenBuilder()
                      .withPublishableToken("Tpk_18dfe6cebb4f41ffb219b9680f9acaf2")
                      .withSecretToken("Tsk_3eedff6f5c284e1a8b9bc16c54dd1af3")
                      .build());
final BatchStocks result = cloudClient.executeRequest(new BatchStocksRequestBuilder()
        .withSymbol("AAPL")
        .addType(BatchStocksType.LARGEST_TRADES)
        .addType(BatchStocksType.PRICE_TARGET)
        .addType(BatchStocksType.QUOTE)
        .build());
System.out.println(result);

Streaming SSE

To build request use classes that extend ISseRequestBuilder interface. Example request:

final IEXCloudClient cloudClient = IEXTradingClient.create(IEXTradingApiVersion.IEX_CLOUD_BETA_SANDBOX,
              new IEXCloudTokenBuilder()
                      .withPublishableToken("Tpk_18dfe6cebb4f41ffb219b9680f9acaf2")
                      .withSecretToken("Tsk_3eedff6f5c284e1a8b9bc16c54dd1af3")
                      .build());

final Consumer<List<TOPS>> TOPS_CONSUMER = System.out::println;
final SseRequest<List<TOPS>> request = new TopsSseRequestBuilder()
        .withSymbol("AAPL")
        .build();

cloudClient.subscribe(request, TOPS_CONSUMER);

Please see samples for more examples.

IEX Api (iextrading.com/developer) requests

Support for IEX Api has been reduced after June 1, 2019.

To build request use classes that extend IEXApiRestRequest interface. Example request:

final IEXApiClient iexTradingClient = IEXTradingClient.create();
final Quote quote = iexTradingClient.executeRequest(new QuoteRequestBuilder()
        .withSymbol("AAPL")
        .build());
System.out.println(quote);
