Thank you very much Mahesh. This really helps. Regarding the last point on service providers that host FIX adapters to do the 2-way conversion: (1) Is this is a common route that buy-side firms take or is it that the majority of buy-sides would have their own FIX engine? (2) In case of the service provider approach, is it correct to assume that the service provider would have its FIX engine that would connect to the FIX engine of the sell-side. (3) What would be some examples of such service providers? Do the trader networks provided by the likes of Fidessa and Fix Flyer belong to this category? > > (7) I have some folks telling me that "buy sides will not have a FIX > > engine but they will be able to send FIX messages using some > > adapter. Only the sell side will have a fix engine to receive and > > process these messages.". I believe this is incorrect. Am I > > correct?
