Re: [Quickfix-developers] Newbie set up question

QuickFIX is a library.  You would need to link it into a service that =20=

you write.

By connection string are you referring to the FIX Logon Message?  =20
QuickFIX will take care of sending it, so no specific action on your =20
part is required.

Initiator and Acceptor does not refer to direction of message.  It =20
refers to who initiates and who accepts the initial logon message.  =20
You only need one, but it needs to be the opposite of the =20
counterparty.  One of you needs to initiate while the other accepts.  =20=

Once connectivity is establishes, messages can flow both ways.
