{{Quickfixn}} Get Price Feed

[Grant Birchmeier]

For questions like this, your first reference should be the
specification documents for your counterparty's FIX interface.

I've never connected to Currenex myself, but I'd imagine they expect
you to send some kind of MarketDataRequest (35=V).  You'll need to
check their specs to know how they use the fields in this message, or
if they require any "optional" fields, or if they expect any
Currenex-specific fields.

All counterparties are a little different.  FIX is an extraordinarily
loose protocol, and every counterparty I've ever seen has made their
own customizations to the standard FIX messages, and each counterparty
may use those messages a little differently than the next.

I hope you're not attempting to use UIDemo to connect to Currenex and
do real trading.  That app is in no way ready or appropriate for such
an activity.
