Even if you use sendTarget() before the session is logged on, QF/J would =
send the Logon=20
message first. This is what you can see in the log: I can only see the Lo=
gon sent out, not=20
any other message from your application.

For some reason, ASX expects 3 at the next incoming sequence number, whil=
e you are=20
starting with 1.

QF/J automatically resets the sequence numbers to 1 after the EndTime. If=
 ASX does not=20
reset its session before the QF/J session tries to logon (ie after StartT=
ime next day),=20
the ASX is still at a higher sequence number (as 3 in this case), but QF/=
J tries to=20
connect with 1. While FIX specs requires to disconnect you in that case, =
ASX is polite=20
enough to explain the situation to you before sending Logout.

Please check whether the session times of your client match with ASX and =
take into account=20
that FIX uses UTC.

Cheers, J=C3=B6rg
