Re: [Quickfix-users] [Quickfixj-users] Order and Position management

[Toli K. <to...@ma...>]

Hey Ted,

I don't want to sound like a "marketing drone", but this is exactly
why we built Marketcetera :)

QFJ is a great library for communicating with FIX destination, but
it's limited to that only.

Marketcetera Platform does exactly what you are asking for: it
consists of an OMS, an end-user GUI that lets you trade and manage
orders (http://trac.marketcetera.org/trac.fcgi/wiki/Marketcetera/Photon)
and Tradebase, a positions and basic risk analysis and P&L web-app
(http://trac.marketcetera.org/trac.fcgi/wiki/Marketcetera/Tradebase).

It's also an open-source project, and it's built on top of Quickfix/J,
as you can imagine.

feel free to send me email directly if you have any questions, or take
a look at http://trac.marketcetera.org/ for more information.
