Python 3 FIX No Response
Python 3 FIX No Response
02 Oct 2016, 22:38
I wrote just a short script in Python3.5 to test out the FIX capabilities, it is just a socket connect and logon message. The problem is I am not receiving any response from the FIX server. You can see where I am trying to receive and print a response on lines 8-9.
import socket
s = socket.socket()
try:
s.connect(('212.83.157.16', 5201))
logon = b"8=FIX.4.4|9=113|35=A|49=ctrader.3139500|56=CSERVER|50=Quote|34=1|52=20161002-18:08:03.155|98=0|108=30|141=Y|553=3139500|554=pass|10=129|"
s.send(logon)
msg = s.recv(2048)
print(msg.decode('ascii'))
except:
print("Connection failed.")
finally:
s.close()
print("Script terminated.")
Is it because I am testing during market close? Or have I made a mistake in the FIX logon message? Thanks for any help.

import socket
s = socket.socket()
logon = "8=FIX.4.4|9=113|35=A|49=ctrader.3139500|56=CSERVER|50=Quote|34=1|52=20161003-03:02:03.155|98=0|108=30|141=Y|553=3139500|554=pass|10=129|".replace('|', chr(0x01))
try:
s.connect(('212.83.157.16', 5201))
s.send(logon.encode(encoding='ascii'))
msg = s.recv(1024)
print("Message:", msg)
except:
print("Connection failed.")
finally:
s.close()
print("Script terminated.")
I changed some things up and I am finally getting a response from the server, but the response is just empty bytes (b'').

Which sample are you referring to?
Ideally, I would like to avoid using a FIX engine (too much bloat) and C# as I am just want to collect market data on my Linux based server.
Hi
You can install .net core and try c# code on linux Server
https://www.microsoft.com/net/download
and try write in C# and run from command line

Hey darhk, have you finished a Python script that works with this FIX API?

I forgot to mention I am testing using a cTrader demo account.
