NovoAdapter suite

The NovoAdapter suite is a set of Adapter blades provided with the Caplin Trader FX Motif. You can use these example Adapters to test FX trading behaviour when you’re developing an FX Trading system that uses the FX Motif. The blades provided are:

NovoRatesAdapter: Sends streaming executable FX rates to the FX Motif, for use in quick-trade tiles.
NovoTradingAdapter: Handles the two most common trade types, ESP and RFS.
NovoOrderAdapter: Deals with single orders and multi-order strategies.
NovoCalendarAdapter: Sends tenor dates (also called value dates) and valid settlement dates to the FX Motif.
NovoPermissioningAdapter: Sends all of the permissions required by the FX Motif to Liberator’s Permissioning Auth module.

The blades come with all the source code for the Adapters; the Adapter source code illustrates the best way to use the Motif’s FX Integration API when implementing each type of adapter.

For more about the NovoAdapter suite, see Using the FX Integration API to integrate the Caplin FX Motif in The FX Integration API.
