The mainframe where the trades are executed is “Go Trade.”
Let’s take a look at how devs explain FIX protocol: “FIX has become the language of the global financial markets used extensively by buy and sell-side firms, trading platforms and even regulators to communicate trade information. This non-proprietary, free, and open standard is constantly being developed to support evolving business and regulatory needs, and is used by thousands of firms every day to complete millions of transactions.” “The FIX Protocol language is comprised of a series of messaging specifications used in trade communications. Originally developed to support equities trading in the pre-trade and trade environment, it is now experiencing rapid expansion into the post-trade space, supporting straight-through processing (STP) from indications of interest (IOI) to allocations and confirmations. Additionally, it is witnessing significant growth in the fixed income, foreign exchange, and listed derivatives markets.” “Virtually every major stock exchange and investment bank uses FIX for electronic trading, alongside the world’s largest mutual funds, money managers, and thousands of smaller investment firms. Leading futures exchanges offer to FIX connections and major bond dealers either have or are implementing them. Identifying an exact number of users is impossible, as FIX is a free and open standard, but it is very clear that the world’s financial community now speaks FIX.”
