[Quickfix-users] Upgrading from NON FIX based solution | consulting required

[Hanan H. <han...@gm...>]

Hi All,

 

I am looking for a consulting for upgrading an existing in house automated
system to a FIX based solution.

The job targets are:

1. Definition of the FIX based required solution.

2. Comparing existing products VS developing using QF engine 

 

Just a few words regarding the existing| required solutions details.

 

The Existing system description:

I have multiple clients (about 10-15 ) connected to Desktop application
trading system. 

            All of the orders sending and status is done via a proprietary
API (COM based).

            each automated system sends a few orders a second.

 

A new FIX based solution description

1. Each Client is a FIX acceptor application

            Use NewOrderSingle()  + SendToTarget("Your FIX server").  to
send a new order 

Each client would have its own config file, and each client would have a
SenderCompID which you specify.  When the client calls the SendToTarget it
would be sending it to your FIX acceptor app, which has been configured to
accept connections from each of your clients.

 

2. The FIX server would not only be an acceptor, but it could conceivably
also be configured to have its own instance of an initiator.

That acceptor app could then connect as an initiator to a broker FIX server
and act as a gateway to the broker for all of my clients.

 

 

Best regards,

Hanan Harush
