We definitely would 100% strongly recommend against anyone outside of Sierra Chart integrating to a FIX protocol by bridging that to the DTC protocol for use by Sierra Chart. The reason is that Sierra Chart already has very efficient and well developed FIX connectivity within it. Using an external FIX to DTC bridge, would be inefficient and if the developer were to use something like Quick FIX for the FIX connectivity, this would be absolutely horrible. We have a very poor impression of Quick FIX and consider it very substandard quality and buggy. Also integrating to external Trading services, is not easy to do it properly. This should never be trusted to anyone but the very best and most competent programmers of which there are not many. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
