Re: [Quickfix-users] Building an OMS for fun

RB,

I, for one, would love to see you write a proper OMS system. If you take 
this task seriously, you could easily write something better than what's 
already available. Think about open sourcing it, eh?

Cheers,

Greg Chabala

[Quickfix-users] Building an OMS for fun

Hello everyone I'm fairly new to this list I'm a first year Computer
Science student with basic programming knowledge in Java.

I'm very interested in financial trading technologies like Order
management, trade routing and order execution.

I have gathered a slew of information about FIX from the
FIXprotocol.org website. I want to possibly learn more and was
wondering how feasible it would be develop my own OMS based on
quickfix as a learning experience to better enhance my knowledge with
FIX and Java network programming.

I really dont know how to start or even being with this tremendous
task I plan to possibly this as the basis of my senior project. "Yeah
starting early" :)

I would like to develop something that would be some what functional
yes this would be only for learning but at the same time I would want
it to be as realistic as possible, I'm doing this project to help
prepare me for real world scenarios of designing and trouble-shooting
problems associated with FIX  from connectivity to order flow and
execution issues. I hope to become a FIX engineer/architect at some
point in the future.

Any information related on how I could go about making this idea a
reality would be extremely helpful.

Thank you.
