What is FIX?

The Financial Information eXchange Protocol ( abbrev. as a "FIX Protocol" ) is a series of messaging protocol specifications for the electronic communication of trade-related messages to provide a common, global language for the automated trading of financial instruments.

A typical FIX Protocol compliant message is an ASCII string, consisting of number tags, associated with their values and looks like:

tagNumber1=tagValue1|tagNumber2=tagValue2|tagNumber3=tagValue3

and so on, where a character | is a tag-record delimiter.
