Presenters:
Robb Van Eman, Product Manager, NetQoS
Patrick Ancipink, Director of Product Marketing, NetQoS

Financial trading activity between exchanges, brokerage firms, hedge funds, and other financial services companies is a core component of the world economy. With trillions of dollars traded annually on the NASDAQ alone, financial service entities are investing heavily in optimizing electronic trading and employing direct market access (DMA) to increase their speed to financial markets and reduce latency where possible. Put simply, a one millisecond advantage can be worth millions. In addition, regulatory initiatives like the Regulation National Market System (RegNMS) in the US and the UK's Markets in Financial Instruments Direction (MiFID) are also forcing trading services to provide order execution and market data in a timely manner.

For the trade desk, managing the delivery of trading applications and keeping latency low increasingly requires an understanding of the Financial Information Exchange (FIX) protocol. However, many trade desks to provide order execution and market data in a timely manner. are not equipped with the right solutions to monitor and troubleshoot FIX applications.

Join NetQoS experts to learn how you can capture and analyze FIX protocol financial transactions to help trade desk personnel measure latency, speed troubleshooting, and reconstruct trade executions in order to minimize costly delays in brokerage transactions that can significantly affect the bottom line and result in competitive disadvantage.

The drivers of FIX protocol application adoption
The limitations of status quo FIX protocol management techniques and technologies
How to reduce the complexity and skills needed to understand FIX messages
How to gain visibility and gather metrics for FIX application response-time latency by order, client and symbol
