Data and trading services with an agnostic approach is one of the key features of your software. I see your list here of trading service - http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/data.php and I would like to know what prevents an universal Fix api connection? Similar questions in support forum here - Does Sierra Chart Work with FIX API "FIX is not an exact standard for this to be possible. It is not possible to add a custom FIX API connection." Most of the FX brokers that I trade with offer a fix api as a default trading connection, the list of these brokers are vast in size and I would like to shift my projects over to SC for the purpose of multi broker connection. If you can not provide a universal connection to these brokerages, is this something that a third party could offer? Note Worthy Option ( IQFeed Connection Manager) - http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/helpdetails76.html#Proposal - No Third Party API supported - http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/helpdetails76.html - I understand maintaining functionality with other developers api can be problematic but isn't FIX API something worth supporting? Why No Fix? - http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_DTCProtocol.php - "FIX does not have messages for historical price data" If FIX is not suitable for data, can a data service in DTC run within a master SC directory(logic operations) and slave SC directory execute the trades via FIX? |
