Hotspot FX Trading System Adapter Sample

In the Package Explorer, double-click to open the sample application, HotspotFX.sbapp.

Select the Parameters tab at the bottom of the EventFlow editor view. Change the placeholder values to your site-specific values for the Hotspot FX server, port, username, and password.

Select the Editor tab.

Click the Run button. This opens the Test/Debug perspective and starts the application.

In the Test/Debug Perspective, open the Application Output view. Look for tuples emitted on the event streams conveying the state of the connection to the Hotspot FX server.

If the connection to the Hotspot FX server is active, look for tuples being emitted on the Ticker, BBOs, and MarketBook streams.

In the Manual Input view, select the ControlRequest stream. Enter subscribeToHeartbeat in the action field and click Send Data.

Observe that heartbeat tuples now appear in the Heartbeats stream.

In the Manual Input view, select the MarketRequest stream. Enter submitOrder in the action field and appropriate values in the currpair, buySell, amount, price, orderType, and comments fields and click Send Data.

Observe a tuple from the MarketResponse stream containing the ID of the submitted order.

When done, press F9 or click the Stop Running Application button.

Use StreamBase Studio to set up the HotspotFX.sbapp application with the server, port, username, and password for your Hotspot FX account, as described in step 2 of the previous section.

Open three terminal windows on UNIX, or three StreamBase Command Prompts on Windows. In each window, navigate to the directory where the sample is installed, or to your workspace copy of the sample, as described above.

In window 1, type:

sbd HotspotFX.sbapp

In window 2, type:

sbc dequeue -v

This window will display the tuples dequeued from the adapter's output ports.

Observe in window 2 that tuples are emitted from the Ticker, BBOs, and MarketBook streams.

In window 3, type:

echo subscribeToHeartbeat,null,null,null,null | sbc enqueue ControlRequest

Observe in window 2 that a tuple is periodically emitted on the Heartbeats stream.

In window 3, type the following command to terminate the server and dequeuer:

sbadmin shutdown
