The Business Case Industry Expansion: The industry is expanding at an unprecedented pace. Standards are needed to manage and facilitate this consolidation. These standards must be flexible enough to support future business initiatives without costly modifications. Not only should these standards be used across the derivatives industry, they should be extensible across the closely related Equity and Fixed Income markets.

The Business Case Industry Expansion: The industry is expansion at an unprecedented pace. FIXML removes barriers to expansion Standards are needed to manage and facilitate this expansion. FIXML is the basis of a practical and pervasive standard, allowing a build once, interface many times approach These standards must be flexible enough to support future business initiatives without costly modifications. FIXML provides full coverage of the post-trade arena. Its range extends across the full spectrum of products and functions Not only should these standards be used across the derivatives industry, they should be extensible across the closely related Equity and Fixed Income markets. FIX is already an accepted standard in Derivatives Trading, Equity, and Fixed Income areas. FIXML as an XML implementation, allows greater technical interoperability

The Business Case: FIXML vs TREX Reduced Cost through flexibility In general, TREX has reached the end of its lifespan TREX is 10 years old and reflects the industry as it existed at that time TREX is a flat, non-tiered message structure and does not lend itself to repeating groups of data Adding or expanding blocks is costly TREX has limited support for multi-leg instruments. At this point in time, it is maxed out. Consider the cost to expand the S1 block for SLEDS Consider the cost to support a similar type of effort for packs, bundles or strips

The Business Case: FIXML vs TREX Reduced Cost through flexibility FIXML provides expanded support for multi-leg instruments FIXML provides support for the most complex multi-legged instruments FIXML’s underlying model allows a seamless transition between simple and complex instruments No additional costs related to message expansion. Your interface does not need to change

The Business Case: FIXML vs TREX Reduced Cost through flexibility FIXML provides expanded Give up functionality TREX has limited give up functionality TREX allows give ups only to a single party TREX does not provide a way to sub-allocate and accept in a single request TREX does not support a single leg give up for a spread instrument FIXML allows multi-party give ups on single trade FIXML supports sub-allocations on the acceptance of a give up FIXML allows one or more legs of a spread to be given up

MQ-Series Transport for FIXML Messages  FIXML will be fully supported over MQSeries. The process of sending and receiving FIXML messages will be no different than for TREX.  Transmission of FIXML messages to the CME will require the use of separate queues dedicated to FIXML processing.  The CME will transmit FIXML messages to a separate outbound queue at the firm.  It will be necessary for the firm to define new sending and receiving channels between itself and the CME since the CME will be hosting the Clearing API processing in a new.
