FIX Connection Problem‏
Iam having a problem logging into FXCM FIX Acceptor; when I try to logon with the given FIX details the following exception is raised :

Cannot logon: after sending the initial Logon message the telecommunication link error is detected (the connection is closed by the counterparty).

Thanks alot.

What server are you trying to log into and when exactly did you try to login?

No I didnt downloaded the dictionary, but the problem is solved, I have connected to http://www.fxcorporate.com/Hosts.jsp instead of fixdemo1.fxcorporate.com and everything is ok, but I have a question because we (Hybrid Solutions) are welling to buy the API; can we connect to any acceptor using your API, or it just works with FXCM Servers? I mean if I tried to connect to other server not related to FXCM could it be ok?

Connecting to www.fxcorporate.com/Hosts.jsp should not work when using the FIX API. Are you sure you are using FIX?

As for the second question, I do not understand the question can you please clarify.

I downloaded trading_sdk.zip from:
DailyFX Forum > FXCM Products and Services > FXProgrammers > Source Documentation > Java Trading API.

I also downloaded the dictionary, and I tried to connect using another FIX API, but also I had the same problem
(Cannot logon: after sending the initial Logon message the telecommunication link error is detected (the connection is closed by the counterparty).

You are kind of confused.
1) You have downloaded the Java SDK Which has an object model based on FIX.
2) You can not connect to our FIX service without having a connection created specifically for you. Contact your Sales rep for details.

Sir there is a misunderstanding, We already have FIX API which I tried to connect to your acceptor through it with all details we recieved from your company and I had the exception:
Cannot logon: after sending the initial Logon message the telecommunication link error is detected (the connection is closed by the counterparty).
So I sent you the problem; and while waitting for your reply, I downloaded your Java SDK trying to have a solution.

Now, the case is that Iam using FIX API and trying to login to your acceptor using the FIX details(TARGET COMP ID, SENDER COMP ID, TARGET SUB ID, IP address and port number) we recieved from your company and Iam having the exception I mentioned above; simply, I dont recieve anything from the server as response for the login request or heartbeat.

As well, we didnt recieve FIX Version supported by your acceptor with the FIX details.

ok I see.

That sounds like a networking issue. Can you try configuring and running the quickfix example client?

You need to authenticate with UserRequest(BE) 553/554 after logon exchange. please reference docs/examples.

Dear sir,
When I try to connect to your acceptor using your QuickFIX tester after 12AM on friday (as in your server time), I receive the followings:

event> (Timed out waiting for logon response)
(Session state is not current; resetting FIX.4.4********>FXCM/MINIDEMO)


On the other hand, I can connect through FXCM Trading Station, So, I need to know if there is any time restrications if connecting through FIX.
Thank you

no we have no restrictions and all engines look healthy. seems like you may have some issue in your configuration or server.
