[Quickfix-users] Spontaneous Logout message

[Peter H. <pet...@ya...>]

I've been testing an electronic trader with a FIX Server, using a FIX connection to send market data in real time. 


The Trader works for about 4 hours or so, until the FIX connection sends a spontaneous Logout Message. It seems that the Server and the trader application decide to send each other Logout messages at almost the same time. If one is initiating, its hard to determine which one is doing it. Heartbeat messages are being sent and received on both sides. Just at this one point in the trader, the Logouts get sent and chaos ensues. There are no erroneous messages that warrant this, the connection is on the same computer, so this behavior is baffling me. 


How can I suppress/control this Logout behavior? Any clues as to whats' causing it? I've been logging all the incoming and outgoing messages from the trader and the server, but I can't determine the cause.
