Additional resources

The FIX Protocol website and The Bond Market Association website have many additional resources to help firms implement FIX.

FIX Protocol resources:

  • FIXimate is an online dictionary of field tags used within the Protocol.
  • The crib sheet is a small chart illustrating the message types.
  • The "Plain English" documents outline the current business practices in the bond market and served as a template for the extension of the Protocol to fixed income trading.
  • The Bond Market Association's Cross-Industry Protocols Guide illustrates how FIX fits with other industry standards, while its survey of fixed income trading systems keeps market participants informed on alternatives for electronic trading.
  • FIX versioning outlines the evolution of the Protocol through multiple versions.
