Hello everyone,
Not sure if this is the right place to start, but…
do I use FIX if I want to build a webtool to track historic options contract prices? My experience is limited to PHP/MySQL, I was hoping to code something up that can query CBOE servers for premiums and write to a MySQL db.
Thanks for the time and help.
Webtool - Since FIX is a messaging protocol for transactions, FIX does not bother about presentation and so you could use Web pages to accept your user’s queries, query your MySQL db and present the resultset as web pages.
Query CBOE servers - I have not connected to CBOE. I believe they support FIX / FAST for market data. So your program would send Market Data Request ^35=V^ and process the Market Data Snapshot ^35=W^, Market Data Incremental refresh ^35=X^ and / or Market Data Reject ^35=Y^ responses and save to your MySQL database.
Your application would use the data from your MySQL db to do the “Track historic options contract prices”.
