RE: [Quickfix-developers] FIXML Question

[James C. D. <jc...@co...>]

Bernard,
I think the CME has recently implemented FIXML for some clearing operations
with their clearing members. I really don't know of anyone who uses FIXML
for order routing. If anyone on the list knows some one that is using FIXML
for real-time order routing I'd like to hear about it.

Subject: [Quickfix-developers] FIXML Question


We have been using QuickFix successfully in production for quite some time
now, and we are very pleased with how it works for us.  Recently, some of
our counterparties have asked us about FIXML.  As far as I can tell from my
research, FIXML includes only the message structure, and does nothing with
respect to the delivery and sequencing.  I have seen many references to the
fact that FIXML messages can be delivered using FIX.  Why would I want to do
this?  Does QuickFix support it?  Does anybody do it?  How else would I
deliver such messages?  Are there advantages (other than easier readability)
over the "native" FIX format?
 
Thanks.
