Marketcetera / FIX Newbie

Hello All,

   I'm both a FIX/Marketcetera newbie and I'm trying to get up and running pretty quickly. The company I work for is in the process of installing a FIX gateway/hub (Orc CameronFIX Universal Server) in Nigeria that banks and other parties will connect to. Some of these banks will not have any OMS to start and I've been tasked with looking for an appropriate software for them. They will mostly be doing forex and equities trading. My question is Marketcetera capable of doing this ? Secondly, whats the fastest way to learn FIX protocol ? I've installed the Marketcetera VMWare appliance and it's running well. I've been playing around with it but I need to do more to get a hang of the protocol.

Hi Idris,

Thanks a lot for your interest in Marketcetera.

I think that Marketcetera would be a perfect match for what you are
trying to accomplish. We currently support both equities and options
natively, and we have a few customers using it to trade currencies as
well - but note that we do not have a dedicated Forex screen in our
GUI yet (it's coming).  These people use Marketcetera to trade Forex
algorithmically.

You can have each one of your clients have a separate install of
Marketcetera (with a Windows installer instead of VMWare appliance, it
may be easier for non-Linux savvy people to administer) all connecting
to the ORC engine on your end.

As far as FIX, I think the overview on Wikipedia is quite good if you
haven't seen it yet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIX_protocol
We have a page on the interaction of Marketcetera and FIX at
http://trac.marketcetera.org/trac.fcgi/wiki/Marketcetera/MarketceteraFIX

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Here's a verbose but thorough reference to FIX:

Hello Toli,

  Thanks for the response. I tried to install the Windows version on a 2003 Server running under VMWare, but I was getting error messages saying the software was for XP/VISTA and other messages. Secondly do you have an ETA on when the FOREX screen on photon will become available ? We don't mind beta testing it for you.

Regards,
.idris

Idris,

The Windows installer is only certified to install on XP or Vista - we
didn't have the resources to validate it on all the other flavors of
Windows during the release.  You can certainly build it from source
and it will run on Windows Server, but the installer won't let you
install on that.

The Forex screen is still a few months away - we are concentrating on
some infrastructure upgrades right now. Would be happy to have you
beta-test Forex GUI when that's available.

thanks
