Do all the brokers who have FIX API menu and show FIX API Credentials support FIX protocol?

I tried to send a login message with SenderSubID=QUOTE to IC Markets demo account (Netting and Hedged no difference) but no response returned.

Which brokers currently support FIX?

You can execlude FxPro , even with the latest cTrader version .. they don't offer Netted accounts .. so you can only get Quotes.

You can Execute Orders but you won't be able to close them. 

 

The way Spotware implemented Fix is not very glorious to say the least ! . 

I had a similar situation when the server doesn't respond .. If you don't get a Reject Response .. usually its the server . not your Code. 

Still if you want to double check .. post the Raw Fix message here ..So we can look at it . 

 

I Think I'll stop my Fix_Bridge project .. I had great hopes for it .. but on cTrader Severs ..Doesn't promise much.
