Hello

I have searched the net for information related to FIX protocol as I need to develop a FIX Protocol client which will connect to FIX server.

I am planning to use QuickFIX open source engine and have read about QuickFIX on the net. But the problem is there are not many examples on QuickFIX on the net.

I have gone through some basic code of using QuickFIX with .NET using QuickFIX API, but still I am confused regd. the client application architecture.

Can someone guide me in the following points,

Do I need to use threads for creating FIX Client app?
Should I use multiple sessions for communication or a single session?
Can I use separate threads, one for sending msg to server and another for recieving msg from server in my app?

Anyone who has worked on FIX protocol, can you please guide me.

Any help would be great.

Awaiting a reply soon.

Thank You.

If it was me I would read the specifications.

Which seem to be located at the following location.

http://www.fixprotocol.org/specifications/[^]

Based on what I did read, without looking at the actual specification, I would suspect that some or even all of the answers to your questions are related to the exact server that you are connecting to.
