A FIX application designed as a reference app for JDK 8. This is a teaching aid and reference app. It is not necessarily designed for robustness or production deployments. You use it in PROD at your own risk. It uses QuickFIX as its underlying FIX library, and acts as a direct-market access (DMA) engine. For the non-financial specialist, this means it listens on a socket for incoming messages using the FIX protocol (These can be thought of as incoming orders from clients which the clients want to place on an exchange or other electronic market. In general, most companies are not allowed to directly send orders into an electronic market. Instead, only members are allowed to place orders. So intermediaries (brokers) place the orders for clients. So, the direct-market access application is effectively an end-point for client orders. The received orders may need to be transformed and filtered before they are placed on the market. So this style of application is well suited to a pipeline design utilising the basic building blocks of java.util.functions. Individual clients are configured up by using a JSON format to describe them.
