Software » Axon FIX Debugger

Someone has told what simply enough to write base application which using FIX protocol but much more difficult to force him work without mistakes. The basic problem consists that you need cooperate with software where you almost don't have opportunity to influence on it behaviour. Lets say, you make integration with FXCM, Hot Spot, DGCX, DukasCopy or any another exchanger. You can send FIX messages and will receive on them answers. By laborious work and selection of messages you can check up all possible situations which can arise during the real trading. But nevertheless there is a probability, that some sequences will be missed and will prove only at use in production.

Engineers of our company (AxonSoftware) constantly involving in integration development and constantly collided with greater time losses at debugging FIX components of application. The received experience has poured out in realization of the program under name Axon FIX Debugger, intended for simulation of behaviour of sell side. What advantages can be received using Axon FIX Debugger? Here some of them:

  • ability to simulate work of sell side on the basis of versions 4.0, 4.2, 4.4 of FIX protocol
  • ability independently form messages which will be sent to your application
