Hi all,

i have been developing a FIX application of my own which basically sends/receives FIX msgs to and from server. Currently, i have got 2 issues.

a> will need a FIX server that will respond to my FIX msgs. Not to Buy/sell, just need it to respond to market data requests. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

b> Assuming that my application is 100% tested and working, what are the steps gain access to a real FIX exchange? Just need a general/procedure guide.

thanks

Hi John,

With respect to your first question - you can find a couple of open-source FIX engines out there that should make it pretty easy to build a simple simulator. There’s QuickFIX/J if you’re on Java, QuickFIX if you’re using C++ or .NET, and VersaFix if you want a pure .NET/C# system.

Is there a specific platform that you’re developing for?

Cheers,

Russ

Hi John,

Awesome - sounds like QuickFix C++ would be the ticket for what you’re doing. Have you downloaded it and given it a go? Their site is at:
