Fix implementation initial guide

Imported from previous forum

Hi all,

I have got the task to do the FIX implementation for one of exchange here.

We need to implement it in VC or .Net, I need your advise on what is the best approach to start with and I have few questions

  1. how the message are encrypted
  2. if we are going to build FIX server, what are the major features it should have
  3. Is the data transmitted is in xml format

I am very new to this protocol, need some initial guide line

Thanks

Dear Hassan!

No need to build your own FIX server, dont waste your and customer time.
There are a lot of good and not so expensive solutions which you can use in your own project.
You can find even GPL one…Lets say QuickFIX.
