FIXations!

A set of tools to handle FIX protocol data

• fix_tags - explore FIX tags and their associated values either as CLI output or a GUI-like textual interface
• fix_parse_log - extract FIX lines from a (log) file and present them in a nicely formatted grid
• webfix - present copy-n-paste'd FIX lines into a nicely formatted grid

Installation

webfix

Webfix needs to be used with either Flask (for dev purposes)

$ python -m flask --app fixations.webfix run
 * Serving Flask app 'fixations.webfix'
 * Debug mode: off
WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment. 
Use a production WSGI server instead.
 * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000
Press CTRL+C to quit

or something like gunicorn (or other WSGI servers) for production uses:

$ gunicorn fixations.wsgi:app

FIX reference data source

The data is extracted from the FIX specs available here:

https://www.fixtrading.org/packages/fix-repository-2010/ (see fix_repository_2010_edition_20200402.zip).

NOTE: it requires the creation of a login/password to access it.
