[Quickfix-users] RUBY users?

[<jj...@sf...>]

Hi,

I'm a third year finance student, I discovered FIX protocol from MB Trading
while looking to fool around with their API to translate my automated
trading system.

I've read the entire document, and apparently Ruby/Python doesn't support
the "Most Safe...DO THIS!" methods. Will these safe methods be supported in
the future?

Also, I'm running windows, will I face any problem using the Ruby FIX API ?
Are there any others who are going the Ruby route?

Cheers,

John.

John,

what Ruby Fix API are you talking about? Quickfix Ruby API? What
documentation are you talking about that you read?

Thanks.

Cheers,
alex

John,

I am not a Ruby expert but you can extend Python fairly easily and create
your own C++ function wrapper in Python that works as described in the
docs.  I suspect there is similar functionality in Ruby.

As for the Windows question, it might be a good time to give Linux a shot.
    You may be pleasantly surprised.

I know there are some others who use it and I've used it for myself  
for some things.  It's a great way to incorporate scripting into your  
trading system.

The most safe methods will not be supported because Ruby is not a  
compiled language, so there is no way for it to warn you about  
setting incorrect fields.  These will be reported at runtime.
