Software for better trading performance

If you’re short selling on the ASX, there is an obligation to report your short positions to ASIC. This means lodging your reports to the ASIC server via secure FIX protocol messaging.

Iress supports PositionReport FIX application messages to communicate with the ASIC FIX Engine via a direct network line.

This is made simple by using Iress’ new Short Sell Position Report function—via Order System.
