Examples

Convert FIX Message to Structure Array

For this example, assume that a counterparty sends you two raw FIX messages in fixstr. The FIX protocol version is 4.4.

Convert raw FIX messages in fixstr to a structure array fixstruct.

fixstruct = fix2struct(fixstr)

fixstruct = 

     BeginString: {2x1 cell}
         ClOrdID: {2x1 cell}
            Side: {2x1 cell}
    TransactTime: {2x1 cell}
         OrdType: {2x1 cell}
          Symbol: {2x1 cell}
       HandlInst: {2x1 cell}
         MsgType: {2x1 cell}
        OrderQty: {2x1 cell}

The structure array fixstruct contains a structure for each raw FIX message in fixstr. The structure fields correspond to the FIX tags in the raw FIX message.

Display the order type for each FIX message.

fixstruct.OrdType

ans = 

    'D'
    'D'

Both FIX messages specify previously quoted orders.
