Connection IDs
A Bitnomial connection is a logical "connection" to the Bitnomial exchange which allows participants to access clearing accounts that have been provisioned for them. Participants can provision any number of connections associated with any number of accounts that they have been granted access.
Bitnomial connections consist of a hex-encoded ConnectionId with a hex-encoded AuthToken. This
id and token pair constitute an API key to the exchange, and they are used to authenticate both
direct market access messages via Login as well as exchange API
messages via Exchange API Authentication.
Direct Market Access
For direct market access, each connection is considered unique to the exchange in that it can only be logged into a single instance of any given service (order entry, pricefeed, drop copy) at a given time. Additionally, a connection can only see its own orders (not orders placed through other connections) via the Order Entry. However, the connection can see all orders for its associated accounts in the Exchange REST API and the FIX Execution Report.
