Hi,

That's a great question, my aplogies for omitting that in the documentation.

You can change the FIX version that Photon runs as by creating a
custom initialization file and specifying that when you start Photon.
Create the my.ini file in the same directory as photon.exe with the
following content:
org.marketcetera.photon/fix.version=FIX43

This specifies FIX 4.3 as the version, you can use FIX44, FIX41, etc.
Then, start Photon manually from command-line specifying the custom
.ini file:
photon-dir:> photon.exe -pluginCustomization my.ini

When you look at the FIX message details, you should see that Photon
is now sending FIX 4.3 messages out.

I've written this up as a FAQ entry as well at
http://trac.marketcetera.org/trac.fcgi/wiki/Marketcetera/UserFAQ#ChangingFIXversionofPhoton


Let me know how that works for you.
