Re: [Quickfix-users] Moving from Non FIX to FIX based solution

[James P M. I. <jmi...@bl...>]

QuickFix is a library for doing FIX Protocol message management. This 
includes a large variety of order management functions and some market 
data functions. FIX is quickly becoming ubiquitous for order management, 
but for market data, its not as commonly used in my experience.

The TA operation you referred to are not within the scope of FIX and you 
will need to use other software to support that functionality.

Check out the documentation for the FIX version you are interested in at 
http://www.fixprotocol.org/
