IQfeed api is subject to a yearly developper license,
if you are not already using IQfeed, that is probably not a good route...
if you also want to connect to an exchange for sending orders (IQfeed is trade data only)
then you will be better of with the connector framework i posted earlier
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I'm looking to build something similar -- connect NT 8 to my proxy, which will connect to IQFeed. In thinking through my project, I'm wondering how you handled the ports. I noticed that NT does not permit you to change the port it uses to connect to IQFeed.
Does IQFeed permit you to change the port to which it binds? If not, how did you get around this limitation? Obviously both the proxy and IQFeed cannot both bind to the same port. Do you run IQFeed on a separate system/VM?
Both NT and IQfeed will read the configured ports from the registry.
The way around this is as follows :
- start your proxy module
- read the registry
- update the registry with new ports and start IQfeed on those new ports
- update the registry to the original values
- bind your proxy to the original values
- start N8
Hi, am very grateful this thread is here, as NT support are pretty tightlipped on this topic so far when Ive asked about it.
I'd like to make a FIX server as described, ive got a couple of hopefully easy questions:
1] Do we know what FIX version is implemented/supported by NT8?
2] What steps do I need to take to hookup the FIX server in NT8, is this a case of emulating an existing connection, or is there a connections file I need to edit to create some custom connection entries?
any recommended further reading on the topic would be great too.
I'm wondering if taking an off-the-shelf FIX implementation such as
I think i tried quickfixn in the past, but it's a few years ago and it was on NT7
you'll have to reverse engineer it a bit or try to have the documentation of
the implementation and mimic it
They have websocket and REST APIs available which I hope to translate into something NT8 will deal with.
