FIX messaging standard

The Financial Information eXchange (FIX) Protocol is a series of messaging specifications.

It is a global language describing trade-related messages, and is used for automated trading of securities, derivative, and other financial instruments. For more information about the FIX protocol, see the FIX protocol website.

FIX messages can be modeled by using DFDL or MRM Tagged/Delimited String Format (TDS).

A predefined message set solution for FIX can be purchased from IBM®. See the IBM MQ SupportPacs web page.
