Now Available: Nasdaq OMX - FIX Drop for OUCH Support Pack

The Release of Nasdaq OMX - FIX Drop for OUCH Support Pack is now available, as one of multiple OnixS Support Packs.

What is FIX? The FIX Protocol is designed to be extensible with custom application-level FIX tag extensions. Implemented in FIX Dialect XML Schema documents that specify the tag extensions and variants to the base FIX Protocol; these additional user-defined FIX tags can extend the base FIX Protocol messages with custom business elements based on specific contexts; such as client identifiers, internal account numbers, or other custom tags. Because of this, many firms, liquidity pools/venues and vendors make significant extensions to the base FIX Protocol messaging specifications.

OnixS FIX Support Packs vary in scope, but generally include the base OnixS FIX Engine with reference implementation source code samples and venue specific FIX Dialect - which has been implemented, tested and certified by OnixS based on the "FIX Rules of Engagement" specification published by the specific venues.

These Support Packs have been designed to save time and money; both when implementing FIX connectivity to venues, and in maintaining FIX implementations based on the changes made by the target venues.
