Pepperstone FIX server diagnostic

Test the official cTrader Price and Trade FIX sessions directly from your hosting server. Based on the cTrader FIX API instructions.

● SERVER MODE
Safe test: Price and Trade modes send only a FIX Logon—never an order. Use this page through HTTPS. The FIX password is used once by the Node process and is never written to a file or console log.

Checking server configuration…
This key protects the diagnostic page API. It is not your cTrader/FIX password.

How to read the result

The exact failing stage identifies the next action

Port passes + FIX Logon accepted

Ready

The hosting server can reach cTrader and the supplied FIX credentials are accepted.

Port passes + FIX rejected or times out

FIX issue

Re-copy the case-sensitive FIX credentials from cTrader and check whether the same quote session is already active elsewhere.

Both ports refuse the connection

Network issue

The endpoint is refusing that public source IP, or a local/provider firewall is blocking the connection.
