Smart FIXGate Overview
Smart FIXGate is an automated and highly configurable FIX protocol order router, engineered to process high volumes of transactions with ultra-low latency. Designed for both buy-side and sell-side firms, Smart FIXGate simplifies and consolidates broker connectivity across multiple trading platforms into a single, enterprise-grade solution that also functions as a trade risk and compliance manager.
For buy-side firms, Smart FIXGate centralizes FIX connectivity, ensuring streamlined access to a diverse broker network through one robust platform. For sell-side firms, it standardizes FIX message flows from various client trading systems, using advanced, rule-based routing to direct orders to brokers’ trading desks, algorithmic execution engines, or directly to global trading venues.
Built entirely in Java, Smart FIXGate is a scalable and flexible order and execution management platform. Its core infrastructure includes a high-performance FIX engine, rule-based message router, security master resolver, message normalizer, position tracker, and real-time risk monitoring modules. This powerful architecture enables reliable and efficient order flow management in demanding trading environments.
The platform includes an intuitive desktop application that offers real-time monitoring of orders, executions, and positions. It also provides detailed FIX transaction troubleshooting tools and a suite of configuration utilities for system administrators to easily define routing rules and enhance FIX message workflows.
For firms looking to extend their integration, Smart FIXGate delivers a comprehensive set of APIs, supporting multiple programming languages such as Java, C++, .NET, and GRPC frameworks. This wide API coverage includes Python, Ruby, Node.js, Go, Dart, Kotlin, and PHP, making it ideal for in-house development teams and fintech integrators.
Smart FIXGate is easily configurable for drop-copy functionality, allowing it to send its transaction flow to other trading systems or receive third-party drop-copies to reflect external trading activity in its position tracking. It also produces a variety of compliance reports, supports a vast number of inbound and outbound FIX connections, and is capable of handling significant volumes of FIX messages.
