We have done stress testing and are in the process of running a new set of benchmarks with the latest version. We will provide additional details soon.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the feedback. We appreciate it.

Instructions of how to build the platform and check out the source code are available here:

http://www.marketcetera.org/confluence/display/MDN/Building+Marketcetera+Platform

We don't have current plans to provide a pre-compiled Mac version, though you should be able to compile the source code on a Mac as well (if you do that please share your experience - whether you had to do something different than these instructions to get it to compile on Mac).

Thanks,
Yoram

You are using maven 2.0.10 (which is the latest version) but the version we are using to build our platform is maven 2.0.9 (as per our instructions here):

http://www.marketcetera.org/confluence/display/MDN/Building+Marketcetera+Platform

I did verify that maven 2.0.10 doesn't work with our profiles.xml. I recommend that you downgrade to maven 2.0.9 and try again.

Thanks,
Yoram

Our FIXOrder interface just wraps FIX Messages so you need to be careful in how you use them and for what purpose.
It would help to understand what use case you are trying to address.

For instance, we have in the client package other APIs you can use to get info based on execution reports and orders cancel rejects,
such as getReportsSince (see Javadocs client APIs http://repo.marketcetera.org/javadoc/1.1.0/platform/, same org.marketcetera.client package).
That API might give you the information you are looking for and more.

Can you provide a bit more context of what you are trying to do? That way we might be able to provide some insight on how to implement it.

Thanks,
Yoram

Can you verify which version of maven you are using? At the command line (assuming mvn is in your path), just type

Response should be

Using maven 2.0.10 (which is the latest version) might cause issues similar to what you report.

Another option is that your profiles.xml file has syntax errors. If you are using maven version 2.0.9 check your profiles.xml file and make sure it is correct.

Strategy Agent generic documentation is available here:

http://www.marketcetera.org/confluence/display/SA/Strategy+Agent

However, it doesn't address your own module development (or compilation) which seems to be what you are doing (I.e., check out the code and compile). For that you will need to:

Strategy Agent can be run from the development tree by executing the following commands.

When run via the command above, the strategy agent reads the commands file at the path src/test/sample_data/inputs/sampleCommands.txt. You can change this path by editing the execute profile definition in the pom.xml file. The strategy agent expects to find the module jars in the directory src/test/sample_data/modules/jars and their default properties files in the directory src/test/sample_data/modules/conf.

The sample default properties files that are installed in the strategy agent install can be found in src/main/sample_data/modules/conf. You can copy them over to the test conf directory when testing strategy agent from the dev tree.

Note that in the installed version of the product the Strategy Agent modules and modules config files should be placed in the <install dir>/strategyagent/modules/jars and <install dir>/strategyagent/modules/conf respectively.

Thanks,
Yoram

Jerry,

Thanks for raising these questions. Right now the best way to find answers to your questions is looking at the Marketcetera market data adapter source code that we provide as part of the platform. Beyond that it is hard to explain such topics over email, in a forum, etc. The best suggestion I can make is start with our sample and extend it or write a simple adapter with limited functionality.

Thanks,
Yoram

Can you confirm that you are using maven version 2.0.9? If you are using the latest version of maven (2.0.10) - downgrade and install version 2.0.9 and try again. I just noticed some weirdness with maven 2.0.10 that prevented me from compiling the platform. The error I encountered was similar to what you mention in your post.

Thanks,
Yoram

Hi,

Can you please verify whether following the instructions in this post solves the problems you are seeing (even though the instructions are for Linux/Ubuntu - it is the same for Windows):

Hi all,

Are there any examples of more complex strategies?

We will add examples of complex strategies soon. I will notify this forum when we do.

I was also thinking on what is the best approach to have "bar data". My opinion is that it should be provided natively by the marketcetera datafeed because this would simplify the integration with data providers (for instance interactive brokers data API provides a "bar data" api).
I believe this is easy to implement for them and absolutely required. If this API is not available means in my opinion that this is a special support service available just to the paying customers.

Our architecture is built with modularity in mind, and since "bar data" is a generic calculation (i.e., not coupled with a specific data provider), there are multiple ways of implementing it in our platform. Since we are open source it can be done by anyone (not just us). There are other similar features that can be added to the platform - it is all a matter of priorities and time. To answer one comment made here - currently "bar data" is not available as open source or as a service for paying customers.

Such features can be filed as new feature/RFE (Request For Enhanced) in our issue tracking system here - http://www.marketcetera.org/jira and those that are interested in it can add their vote.

In addition, we can use the help of contributors - there are always more features to develop than developers...

So if you are interested in this feature (or any other feature) and are willing to develop and contribute it back - please let us know.

Thanks,
Yoram

Same advice as I mentioned in response to your other post...

Try to follow the steps in this post - they apply to Windows as well:

Please try to follow the instructions provided in this post (although it is a discussion about building Photon in Ubuntu - all the steps apply to Windows as well):

http://www.marketcetera.org/community/posts/list/17.page#52

Hopefully that will help you resolve this issue as well.

Thanks,
Yoram

Scott,

We do support multiple data dictionaries - and you can use different data dictionaries for each broker in the multiple brokers scenario. For more information please check our documentation on this topic:

http://www.marketcetera.org/confluence/display/MPIC/Multiple+Brokers

It is indeed common for each broker to use a customized FIX dictionary.

Thanks,
Yoram

Thanks for your feedback. Is there anything specific you are looking for? Also, if you encountered installation and/or configuration issues you can post a question in our "Installation and Configuration Help" forum.

Thanks,
Yoram
