High performance .NET FIXForge FIX Engine with easy and flexible API

is a .NET class library (assembly) that FIX-enables any .NET application (e.g. written in C#, Visual Basic or Managed C++) in a simple, reliable and cost effective manner.

Supported platforms: .NET Framework 1.1, .NET Framework 2.0 (32-bit and 64-bit), .NET Framework 3.0 (32-bit and 64-bit), .NET Framework 3.5 (32-bit and 64-bit)
 

• Easy-to-use API
• High throughput, low latency performance for Direct Market Access, High Frequency Trading or Algorithmic Trading applications
• Built-in SSL encryption
• Built-in FAST compression
• Supports up to 700 FIX sessions simultaneously
• Pure .NET API (properties, events, delegates, etc)
• .NET FIX Engine is supplied as .NET class library (assembly) that offers complete flexibility over the implementation
• Support for current and future FIX Protocol versions (FIX 4.0, FIX 4.1, FIX 4.2, FIX 4.3, FIX 4.4, FIX 5.0, FAST and FIXML)
• Supports all tags of each FIX Protocol version
• Supports all message types of each FIX Protocol version (equities, fixed income, derivatives, FX etc)
• Flexible support via API for user-defined tags and user-defined message types
• Supports multiple FIX Protocol versions simultaneously and custom dialects
• Automatic validation of required fields
• Persistence (the ability to log data to a flat file and restore the state after fail-over)
• Supports multiple FIX dialects (different interpretations of FIX for specific destinations)
• Versatile diagnostics
• Multipe, custom destinations already supported, tested and certified
• Source-code Licence is available

• manages a network connection
• performs SSL encryption and decryption
• manages the session layer (for the delivery of application messages)
• creates (outgoing) messages
• parses (incoming) messages
• validates all messages
• persists all messages
• session recovery in accordance with the FIX state events model
• fully FIX expected behaviours and state matrix compliant

• Advanced threading architecture — only two threads are used per each FIX Session.
• The Adaptive Communication Environment (ACE) object-oriented framework is used to implement core patterns for concurrent communication software.
• Parsing, validation and assembling of FIX messages is extremely flexible, since it dynamically uses information provided in FIX XML Specifications, thus end-user may easily tune the FIX Parser for any FIX Dialect.
• Design Patterns are used extensively to provide elegant, efficient and reusable solutions.
