What I need to know is this. Can I retrieve account equity balances for my account using fix instead of using an API alongside my fix application? That way it becomes apure fix application rahter than an API hybrid meaning I can then take it to fix brokers without any adoption hassles. And if so what is the specific message type I need to familiarise myself with? If you could provide any answers to this question also Id really appreciate it. > If I understand your question correctly, all this can be achieved with > Execution Report (MsgType = 8) messages. > > From the specification... > > The Execution Report (8) message is used to: > > confirm the receipt of an order confirm changes to an existing order > (i.e. accept cancel and replace requests) relay order status information > relay fill information on working orders reject orders report post-trade > fees calculations associated with a trade > > > > Greetings, I am currently building an application to run in quickfix. > > The application will automate order placement by sending buy and sells > > to an order server.
