Session Initiation

Upon an established TCP connection, the T4 FIX API basic requirement is to have the initiator and acceptor start sequence numbers from 1.

Drop of a physical (TCP socket) connection will result in the end of a FIX session. Upon reconnection, a new FIX session will be started with a sequence number of 1 (for the API User). Likewise, the T4 API server will respond with messages starting with a sequence number of 1.
