This sample demonstrates using the FXSpotStream Trading Components handlers to connect to and perform operations at that venue.
The FXSpotStreamInitialSubscriptions.txt file is used
to determine the initial market data requests to be sent to the venue. Review this
file to see what requests will be made when running the samples.
This sample comes with a very basic FIX emulator for the venue. The emulator will simulate market data and execution with random prices. The market data and execution prices are linked so when performing orders you will see prices which are reflected by the quotes.
