Re: [Quickfix-users] Incorrect BeginString?

[Hei C. <str...@ya...>]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Quickfix's official clearly states that quickfix only supports FIX.4.0-4.4.  I thought that because quickfix allows custom tags, it would allow to a custom value for BeginString.  Surprisingly, Quickfix is pretty strict on that value.

Cheers,
Hei

I guess, your vendor is using FIX 5.0+. QuickFix doesn't support FIX 5.0.
