Modify Order Request (G) is now available for testing in the public sandbox. It will go to production in a few weeks.

Modify Order Request is an implementation of the Order Replace Request outlined in the FIX 4.2 protocol. You can send a single request to modify the price or size of an existing order using the FIX API.

WebSocket Full Channel Change message is also affected with three new fields, old_price,new_price, and reason (added on 2022-AUG-16).

Modify Order Requests that amend size down will retain queue priority in the Exchange order book.

2022-JUN-02

Lifted maximum and minimum order size limits. With this change:

Market orders are no longer subject to max or min size checks unless market funds are specified.
Limit orders are now subject to notional minimum size checks only. We repurposed the existing API parameter, min_market_funds, to represent this value.

Price Protection Points serve as a dynamic and real-time protection against slippage for large-sized orders.

The following API parameters have been deprecated (and will be removed June 30):

API Parameter	Description
base_max_size	Base order size max (limit orders)
base_min_size	Base order size min (limit orders)
max_market_funds	Quote order size max (market orders)

Affected APIs are Get all known trading pairs and Create a new order.

2022-MAY-25

Changes were made to Coinbase Pro:

We disabled the Coinbase Pro API, Deposit from Coinbase account, which lets you deposit funds from a Coinbase retail account into Coinbase Pro. The endpoint /deposits/coinbase-account now returns a 403 when called from a Coinbase Pro account.

All other payment methods into Coinbase Pro remain the same and Coinbase Exchange is not affected.
Creating a new API Key on Coinbase Pro with the Transfer permission has new requirements (the use of old API keys will remain the same):
- You must enable non-SMS 2FA.
- You must allowlist all receive addresses for your transfers.
Creating new API Keys on Coinbase Exchange is not affected by this change.

2022-MAY-05

Added cancel reason to the FIX and websocket feeds.

For FIX, we enhanced the Execution Report to include the cancel reason using the Text field.
For the websocket feed, we added a new cancel_reason field for authenticated messages by the user, accessible in the Full and User channels.

Supported cancel reasons are:

101:Time In Force
102:Self Trade Prevention
103:Admin
104:Price Bound Order Protection
105:Insufficient Funds"
106:Insufficient Liquidity
107:Broker

2022-MAY-02

We enabled new TLS/SSL features on the FIX servers for Exchange/Pro to increase security and performance. This includes limiting the supported ciphers and a new SSL certificate. Please check that your FIX SSL client:

Can support the new ciphers listed below.
Is not validating a specific SSL server certificate. If it is, you must update to the new certificate.

The new infrastructure will support only TLSv1.2 with the following Supported Server Ciphers:

Recommend	Length	Cipher Suite	Elliptic Curve
Preferred	128 bits	ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256	Curve P-256 DHE 256
Accepted	128 bits	ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256	Curve P-256 DHE 256
Accepted	256 bits	ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384	Curve P-256 DHE 256

REST API will enforce case sensitivity for all URLs.
- Example: https://api.exchange.coinbase.com/products/BTC-USD/Ticker should be https://api.exchange.coinbase.com/products/BTC-USD/ticker. Note the lowercase t in ticker.
- This does not apply to URL parameters, just the URL itself: https://api.exchange.coinbase.com/orders?product_id=BTC-USD&sortedBy=created_at&sorting=desc&limit=100 is valid as the the URL is lowercase. Query parameters such as product_id can have values with capitals.
