Mark, Here are the definition for the 3 terms u mentioned - > - Fix Engine. A piece of software that has FIX capability - it can establish FIX connections, receive and send FIX messages. e.g. Commercially available FIX Engines are Cameron, QuickFIX etc. > - Fix Hub. These are FIX messaging service providers in the financial industry. They receive FIX messages from one organization translate them slightly and pass it on to another organization. e.g. NYFIX, AUTEX are some such service providers > - Fix Gateway. You can use FIX Gateway also as a synonym of FIX Engine but usually FIX Gateway is used for the FIX Engine which interface with your external clients. Hope this clarifies.. > We have an OMS which we provide to brokers who send trades to our > Central Order Management System. Our objective is to continue to allow > communication via our standard OMS system and to provide brokers using > there own proprietary systems the ability to send fix messages via a > ??fix gateway?? which will translate the messages into our proprietary > fixed length format message for delivery into the Central OMS. What > components would be required to achieve this objective? > > There is also confusion as to what the difference between the following > are and how they fit together: > - Fix Engine. > - Fix Hub. > - Fix Gateway.
