Dear all,I have some problems about quickfix engine:
First,is quickfix engine the FPL’s official fix session engine?
Second,if quickfix engine is not the FPL’s official fix session engine,how quickfix engine uses in FIX products? Can quickfix communicate with the FIX products in existence?
If you know something about this,please reply,thank you very much!

Hi,
Quickfix is one of the many FIX libraries/engines that support the FIX protocol in terms of messages and the session - you can see a list of vendors on this site.

You can use quickfix to develop software that can use FIX to communicate with other FIX systems as am initiator or acceptor(client - server) but remember that some firms and institutions modify FIX (especially the early versions) so you may need to do some customizing to make it work with all the systems out there.

If you have specific queries about quickfix, you may want to post those in the quickfix web site or forums.

Kind Regards
John

Hi,John
Thanks for your reply!
I have another problem,you said Quickfix is one of the many FIX libraries/engines that support the FIX protocol in terms of messages and the session, and Quickfix is an opensource software,is there other better opensource FIX librarie/engine that support the FIX protocol in terms of messages and the session?

I am happy with quickfix as an open source but you may want to consider QuickFIX/J (if you are using Java) also some vendors offer a “community” version of their products for you to use.

Hi,John
Does FPL has an official FIX library/engine that supports the FIX session level?I am looking for the software that supports the session level, and we develop the application level.If FPL has no official FIX library/engine,and I will consider to use Quickfix(developing in C++).

No, there is no official FIX Library - so using the quickfix libs to handle the session may be a good start.

If you are using regular FIX messages New Order Single, Exec Report, and so on you may want to use quickfix for that, and then code your trading application in c++ around that.

At present we are using regular FIX messages,but it’s possible that we use particular FIX messages in the future.You mean Quickfix supports regular messages well,but doesn’t support other messages well.Is that because of QuickFix’s performance?If we wanna use other messages,shall we use commercial Fix Library/Engine?

I guess what he meant to say is that may firms use customized versions of the FIX protocol which may not be readily supported by a “stock” quickfix engine. You might have to make some configuration adjustments to your quickfix message libraries.

use particular FIX messages in the future.You mean Quickfix supports
regular messages well,but doesn’t support other messages well.Is that
