apparently Fix does not spec. out how to determine if a Trader/User is on-line or not.(AFAIK)

This can be vital information if your fix gateway wants to block sending out messages to your counter party, if the counter-party trader is not loggined into the trading application at the client end.

Any one has to deal with this situation? How do you folks handle this?

I realize presence is very application depenendant and every one does it differently but it would be nice to get a standard way of determining this for real-time order routing.

J.
