Need some advice/information or even a developer for FIX API

Hi,

Firstly, thank you for reading the thread and hopefully not obliterating my post due to naivety or inexperience. I am trading with a broker EXANTE who have an ATP but do not offer algorithmic trading directly on their platform, but it can be done via FIX API/Protocol.

I need some advice, guidance or even direction on how this should be accomplished. I understand that I apparently need a FIX engine in order to connect to the broker and send orders through, but where do I even begin? Knowing almost nothing about programming I am having difficulty finding a developer. All platforms such as Ninjatrader/Protrader etc offer FIX but to specific brokers they work with and I am not at all interested in changing broker mainly due to the relationships built and success I have had with my current broker. Are there any developers out there that can assist in creating an engine or system whereby a C#/C++ version of an algorithm can somehow be connected to my broker? Could anyone offer some advice on a realistic price of this for one account etc? Seriously, any guidance here is so very much appreciated.

Kind Regards

Possibly a MT4 to FIX trading platform is of interest to you, if so, take a look here: http://fixapitrading.com/
Also you can expect a similar price tag (a few hundred dollars) for a custom solution I think.

I use QuickFIX/n (http://quickfixn.org/). It is an opensource FIX engine for .NET similar to the Java implementation (QuickFIX/j). There are other engines available, both open source and not, but I do not have any experience with them. My app consists of a backend automated trading system written in C# using a SQLite database. The frontend is an html5/javascript browser solution using frameworks such as signalr, jquery, and knockoutjs.

I'm sure there are developers that can/would do this type of work. A very basic app for sending trades via FIX to your broker is rather straight forward. But there are many factors that can greatly increase the complexity of the solution - User Interface implementation, strategy complexity, security, charting, etc.

I'm an experienced programmer with a simple system and I've spent 100s (or probably 1000s) of hours on development of my system. I'd think you'd be looking to pay thousands of dollars for a custom built solution by a knowledgeable developer. My best advice for you would be to learn how to program. If that is not in the cards for you, then be prepared to pay.

Hello, Traderyo
do you have description how EXANTE allows trading via FIX API?
I am looked https://exante.eu/technology/
and there is no direct reference for this option. If they allow, May be, it is possible to realize strategy inside ATP's plugin?
If you have the same description, could you send me as private message?
Thanks
