Sending Strategy Orders to a Custom Gateway..  [SOLVED]

Hi All:

I am looking to send strategy signals to a custom gateway for further operations. I would like to use MC to monitor the markets and initiate my strategy events, then send the event information to a custom order and execution manager in real time.

Is there an API or any other way of achieving this? It would be similar to MC sending a FIX message on event. Also, I have the email alerts set up which send me much of the information I need, but I need it to send directly to a different end point.

Hopefully, what I am hoping to achieve is clear. Please let me know if you have questions. Thanks.

Hello, deadmandontcry!

There’re 2 options:
1) purchase our broker API that will allow you to communicate with a non-supported order execution entity;
2) send the messages for your external service through a text file or DLL.

If you’d like to find more about purchasing API please email us to find more details about it.

I tried searching for more information on this, but couldn't find anything, so I'm reviving an old thread.

Could someone explain a bit more in detail on how you would perform #2 sending orders to a text file? This could help with my use case.

Thanks!
