About FF.FIX Analyzer
In addition to FIX connectivity with counterparties, all FIX compliant Buy and Sell-side organizations need a powerful, fast, feature rich and customizable analysis tool for the effective analysis of messages and events in FIX sessions. FIX compliance certification and validation of messages against different FIX dialects are other major tasks that need to be performed.
We designed FF.FIX Analyzer to meet all these requirements and with an emphasis on usability as well as the practical needs. FF.FIX Analyzer is compatible with FF.FIX Engine based applications, FF.FIX Engine and FF.Trader. It is available as a supplementary tool with these products.
FF.FIX Analyzer is different from many similar products because of its high customizability, usability and support for plug-ins. You can develop and deploy such plug-ins quickly using the open source code samples, available with FF.FIX Analyzer. FF.FIX Analyzer uses different plug-ins for fetching the real-time data from ongoing sessions, generating customized trade reports, performing customized message validations for different FIX dialects and performing FIX compliance certification.
