Thanks for the tips.  I had forgotten about the log files stored in the log directory.

This is not an answer but a tool to help you decode fix messages.  You have to change how you're copying the msg to have a different delimiter, the | works

Are there additional benefits to starting two quickfix instances?  Seems threading would be more difficult, but it would be easier to shut down the data connection.

I did find that adding SessionQualifier makes the sessions unique.

[SESSION]
BeginString=FIX.4.4
SenderCompID=fxpig.xxx
SenderSubID=xxxx
TargetCompID=cServer
PosMaintRptID=N
SocketConnectHost=h23.p.ctrader.com
Password=xxxx
SocketConnectPort=5201
TargetSubID=QUOTE
SessionQualifier=fxpigQuote

RE:

I really wish I could update past posts.  My solution doesn't work as I mistakenly changed the TargetCompID = TRADE which makes it unique, and worthless.

I think the cleaner solution would be to have 1 connection and use different ports for trade and quote, however what is working for me as of now is changing the SenderSubID.  This is enough to create unique sessions and avoid the duplicate sessions error.  

I will then have to track which data sessions go w/ each trade session.

# icMarkets demo trade
# [SESSION]
BeginString=FIX.4.4
SenderCompID=icmarkets.xxxx
SenderSubID=trade
TargetCompID=TRADE
PosMaintRptID=N
SocketConnectHost=h43.p.ctrader.com
Password=xxxx
SocketConnectPort=5202
TargetSubID=TRADE

# icMarkets demo data
[SESSION]
BeginString=FIX.4.4
SenderCompID=icmarkets.xxxx
SenderSubID=quote
TargetCompID=cServer
PosMaintRptID=N
SocketConnectHost=h43.p.ctrader.com
Password=xxxx
SocketConnectPort=5201
TargetSubID=QUOTE
