Multiple Clients Sessions

Hello,

I’m new with the quickfix stuff and I have several questions regarding the the project architecture.

I’m planning to develop a project that gets FIX request from multiple clients concurrently.

  1. The project acts as an intermediary for building connnections/disconnections between multiple clients and Currenex FIX Server. Is this feasible or I get entirely wrong conception? ( I’m not very familiar with forex )

  2. If the above is feasible, Do I need to create different Client.cfg for different clients in advance? The problem is settings like SenderCompID,username, pwd are obtained dynamically, must I create sessionsettings from an existed file?

Regards,
Yan

Hello,

Whether this is feasible or not, based on you not being familiar with Forex is pretty irrelevent here.

What you should be looking at, is if the solution you are looking for is not already available within the Currenex Engine. Currenex will be able to tell you that.
With regards to building an aggregator (which is basically what you are trying to do - Many in, Single out) using quickfix, yes this is feasible. Best thing to do is read their documentation.

I am going to throw one out here for anyone from FPL to spew one out on: Would it be an idea wo have a dedicated Quickfix forum? Given that is is open source and quite a few guys out there are using it it might benefit some people.

Just a thought!
