The OnixS directConnect: Eurex/Xetra T7 Enhanced Drop Copy Interface (EDCI) Handler is an ultra-low-latency SDK that gives clearing members, non-clearing members (NCMs) and trading participants a turnkey, conformance-ready client for Deutsche Börse Group's new T7 EDCI service — delivering real-time order drop copy data for both Eurex derivatives and Xetra cash markets.
- Pre-tested against Deutsche Börse's T7 EDCI specification – saving time and money in conformance and integration testing.
- Ultra-low latency, high throughput, and low CPU load – engineered for real-time risk and surveillance workloads.
- Supported – service-level guarantee that the implementation is production-strength and will support current and future EDCI enhancements.
- Supports the T7 EDCI semantics using FIX 5.0 with Simple Binary Encoding (SBE) over a proprietary EDCI session layer.
- Real-time visibility for clearing members into the order book activity of their NCMs – react proactively before risk positions accumulate.
- Comprehensive view for trading participants of every order action affecting the book, including lean orders.
- Full handling of the order drop copy stream lifecycle: initial book restatement, ongoing updates, and single & mass cancellations across every T7 trading partition.
- TLS 1.3 secure connectivity with DigiCert root certificate verification – out of the box.
- Built-in heartbeat monitoring (configurable 100 ms–60 s) and robust reject handling for resilient sessions.
- Automatic re-synchronization on session re-establishment – including local order book invalidation on Trading Session Event (Start of Order Book Synchronization) and Order Book Reset.
- UTC nanosecond timestamps (ExecID, RequestTime, SendingTime) exposed through the SDK API for accurate sequencing and cross-system traceability.
- Easy-to-use and flexible API – designed for rapid integration within risk, surveillance and post-trade architectures, with a common API style for multi-venue implementations.
- Includes fast-start source-code reference implementations with client and benchmarking samples – designed for rapid familiarisation and to get up and running quickly.
- Flexible licensing terms and service level based support. Source Code Escrow.
