Hi Guys,

I am very new to this FIX. But I have to use FIX in my application to send some messages? Will anyone give me some idea or advice how I can start…or show me some direction??

Regards,
Pauline

Depends if you want to build an engine yourself (time consumning and error prone but you have ultimate control) or buy one off the shelf. There are a small number of commnercial C# engines, including ours, and a couple of .NET engines that are open source. Again, it depends on what you want / budget considerations, etc. See the “FIX Products & Vendors Page”. Happy to discuss via e-mail if you like.

Hello, Pauline!

Aswering your question, you must use FIX to talk to the counterpart only if it uses FIX too. After all, you two must speak the same language to understand each other.

My tip is that you take a look at this site:

http://www.quickfixengine.org

There you’ll find the QuickFix Engine, that implements all FIX features with object-oriented paradigm. And it provides an entire .NET C# version for you to use and modify it, because it’s an open source project.

Hope you enjoy it !! It helped me a lot !!

Pauline,
A great start is quickfix since that provides some examples and works very well from .Net - the other thing you will want is a test service to try out your FIX Client for different conditions for example when you try to modify an order that has been traded and so on.

Many vendors provide support and products so you should have no problems - if you have any questions please feel free to email me.

Kind regards
John
