FIX and the Trade Lifecycle: From Introduction to Implementation

Brook Path Partners, Inc. FPL
60 State Street
Boston, MA 02109 US

Brook Path Partners has developed a course entitled FIX and the Trade Lifecycle. The course runs 2 days, and is presented either in public or in-house. The course is taught by Lisa Taikitsadaporn, Co-Chair of the FIX Global Fixed Income Technical Subcommittee. It can be customized for managers, developers, sales and/or support people who work with systems that use the FIX protocol. These may include order management systems, trading platforms, order routing systems and other applications that either implement the FIX protocol directly or rely on a FIX interface to communicate information.



FIX and the Trade Lifecycle begins with an overview of how securities markets work with a discussion of who the participants are and what they trade. The trade lifecycle is reviewed beginning with research and price discovery, and then moves on to order management and execution and concludes with post-trade/pre-settlement processes.


The FIX protocol is then introduced in the context of where it can be used in the trade lifecycle. Each message category is explained along with requirements for specific asset classes. Technical differences between the FIX versions are highlighted as is standard industry practice for implementing the protocol. The course can be customized to address issues that are particular to the client's environment.
