I hear you - delays are frustrating but I warn you that implementing your first auto-trading system will take WAAAYY longer than you expect no matter what.

No recommendations for VB.NET - we used lots of googles to find articles on topics that we needed. Learned by doing.

And stop obsessing about TT FIX - you don't need it as you are not sending your orders to TT via FIX. The TT API does everything you need.

No, no, TT FIX would be to send the orders from my actual charting software (where I can run .vba code) to the TT servers. Since TT seems to be one of the fastest and most realiable for order execution (I have been trading with TT X-Trader for some time) I donÂ´t lose much to giving it a try for one month.

Thank you.

Anyone has had experiences with Trading Technologies FIX Adaptor?.

I give up trying to convince you - but your understanding of what the TT FIX adapter is for is completely wrong. Check their website.

Good luck

FIX Adapter - Connect a non-TT trading system to a TT gateway.

The TT FIX Adapter enables non-TT systems to connect to TTâs
trading platform using the industry-standard Financial Information eXchange (FIX) messaging protocol.

This means that order management systems, algorithmic black boxes and third-party front-ends can easily connect to the TT infrastructure for high-speed order routing, risk management, position monitoring and market data services. As the worldâs leading electronic trading protocol, FIX is integral to many order routing and trading platforms. TTâs commitment to FIX connectivity ensures that customers can gain the benefits of TTâs high performance order routing infrastructure across their entire spectrum of internal and third-party trading systems.
