{{Quickfixn}} using quickfixn engine just to receive execution reports - Bloomberg Console being used for the trades

[Grant Birchmeier]

I'm not clear on your question.

I think you're asking if you can use the engine just to parse an Execution
report, and not actually to connect to an interface, right?  Yes, I think
this is doable.

I'm not sure where an "acceptor socket" would it in to your question.  In
FIX terms, an Acceptor is a server and an Initiator is a client.  If your
app is going to connect to a server and listen for ExecRpts, your app is
going to need to be an Initiator.

Your further questions about sockets are confusing me.  Are you connecting
to a FIX counterparty or not?
