I just finished compiling my quickfix engine to use with C++ or Ruby. Can anyone provide an example program or script that tests my login to the server, and tell me what the response should be?

The test environment is given as api.openecry.com, port 9300. Besides testing a login connection, what are some other ways I can test my quickfix engine on your server?

Also, what (if any) sort of data throughput is available via FIX? Or is buy/sell the only function of the FIX connection with OEC, and data feed is acquired separately?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

there are some samples in QuickFIX for client-side applications. You can use our specification http://www.openecry.com/includes/pdf/FIX.pdf to adjust these samples.

I would recommend to test placing orders, capturing execution reports, position and balance maintenance, and, of course, handling of unexpected situations.

We don't provide data feed via FIX for now.

Thanks, I'll play with those samples then.

So does the test environment work the same as a practice account, allowing us to do full simulated trading and portfolio management?
