Receiving FIX msgs with FIX4NET

[Wolf Wiegand]

Hi,

I am trying to receive trading information from a sell-side broker. Can this be done with fix4net, or is this rather a server side implementation only? If it is not, were would I start? My first guess was using the SocketListen example, but as far as I understand, this only serves to publish trading information to connected parties. Is there an example as to how receive trading information with fix4net?

Thanks in advance -

It will support both buy and sell side broker. The engine lets you send any message which could NewOrderSingle or ExecutionReport. The IEngine interface has a Received event that fires when it receives, validates, and caches a message and this could be any type of message too.

The key to processing received messages is to do the following:
_engine.Received += new MessageEventHandler(engine_Received);

private static void engine_Received(IEngine _engine, IMessage message)
{
            if (String.Equals(message.MsgType, "8"))
            {
                //add processing code here
            }
}

Sorry for the late response.  I misplaced the email alert.
