[Quickfix-developers] Forced Logouts

[Mark R. <mr...@pr...>]

Hi all,

We are currently using Quickfix to connect to an FX market... its all
working well.  However, I have a problem with forced logouts...

If I set the start/end times, QuickFIX logs us out and logs us back in
as expected.  However, every day at 5pm the market logs us out when the
session ends.  After a forced log out such as this, QuickFIX does not
seem to attempt to re-login at the configured start time.  In fact,
after this happens, the only way to reestablish communications is to
manually re-start my program.

Of course, I could set the end time to be just before 5pm which would
preempt the forced logout.  This would work, but its not as robust as I
would like...  if the market is late or early or a forced logout occurs
for some other reason I could either end up in the situation described
above or I could miss out on some data.

Am I missing something here?  What would you suggest?
