About quackfix

QuackFIX is a DuckDB extension that lets you query FIX logs directly with SQL. It parses raw FIX messages into a structured, queryable format, making FIX log analysis faster and more intuitive for trading, compliance, and financial operations.

Native DuckDB Integration Query FIX logs directly in DuckDB—no pre-parsing, no pandas round-trips. No Glue code!

Dialect-Aware Supports custom FIX dialects via XML dictionaries, so venue-specific tags just work.

Fast and Scalable Built on DuckDB’s in-memory, columnar engine to efficiently handle large log volumes.

Support multiple FIX dialects
