Trading Technologies Adapter

Introduction

The Trading Technologies (TT) adapter allows a StreamBase application to connect to a Trading Technologies venue, and to exchange FIX messages with it.

Because this adapter uses the FIX protocol to communicate with a Trading Technologies venue, its user-visible functionality is nearly identical to that of the StreamBase FIX adapter. See the FIX Adapter page for primary instructions on using the TT adapter.

The TT adapter has the following difference, compared to the FIX adapter:

  • Password:

    Because Trading Technologies venues can be optionally configured to require a password to be included at logon, you may be required to specify this password in the configuration file used by the adapter.

    • For QuickFIX/J configuration files, add a Password=MyTTPassword entry either in the session-specific section or the [DEFAULT] section of the file.

    • For StreamBaseFIX configuration files, add a <raw-data>MyTTPassword</raw-data> entry in each session section that represents a Trading Technologies session.

As shipped with StreamBase, this adapter supports the QuickFIX/J and StreamBaseFIX FIX engines. Contact StreamBase Systems Technical Support if you need to use a different FIX engine with this adapter.
