Hi all,

I am new to the FIX family. I have be asked to create a small application to connect to a fix server and get quotes make sell/buy orders etc.
Since I have no idea where I am getting in to I would like a few pointers on what to read and where to start. I have already downloaded everything I could get my hands from the site.

I am also interested in a ready made library which will make my life easier. Please keep in mind that my developing is CodeGear studio and specifically Delphi, so the library must be in native code and must have plain C headers for me to use if there are ready made pascal units to bind to it would be a plus but not a requirement.

Thank you for time.

Regards
Yannis.

Hi,
have you looked at quickfix, not sure they have plain C headers but maybe C++ is ok for you?
Otherwise innerExchange started to provide a free FIX gateway for you to connect and test you app against, that might be of help as well.
If you need any help feel free to contact me directly.
Rgds,
Richard
