The Open Source Java Solution for FIXatdl

atdl4j is an open source and not-for-profit Java implementation of FIXatdl, the FIX Protocol Algorithmic Trading Definition Language standard developed by FIX Protocol Limited (FPL).

Features

• Compatible with Java 8 and upper versions
• Displays algo input screens based on the latest industry-standard FIXatdl 1.1 XML schema
• Reads and generates algorithm-specific FIX message content
• Can be integrated into a trading system, or run as a standalone testing/validation tool.
• Supports the full set of UI widgets defined in FIXatdl 1.1
• Support for message validation and widget state rules (such as show/hide and enable/disable.)
• Supports strategy filtering, customizable settings, and context-specific views (for example Cancel/Replace mode)
• Written in the Java language using standard libraries.
• Both Swing and SWT user interfaces are available, using shared base classes.
• Source code can be modified to support in-house FIXatdl schema extensions

FIX Engine Integration

Please note that atdl4j is NOT a FIX engine for sending and receiving orders over the wire. Rather, atdl4j draws order entry screens from FIXatdl templates and gets/sets their FIX parameter values.

If you are intending to implement a full-stack trading system with FIX order capability, you will additionally require a FIX engine such as the open-source QuickFIX/J.
