  2. The Importance of FIXML • FIX: • A standards-based protocol. • Widely accepted within the financial services industry. • FIXML: • An efficient way to transmit standardized messages across disparate systems. • As with other implementations of XML, tags (descriptors) can be customized. • Individual implementations of FIX and FIXML with custom tags are verging on the proprietary, negating the purpose of FIX.

  3. Our Vision • We are FIX purists. • We want to avoid custom tags and our new systems will not produce them. • We propose a ‘North American futures exchange’ standard. • We believe that this widely accepted implementation of FIX and FIXML will benefit every facet of our industry. • We believe that FIXML works. • FIXML is platform independent. • FIXML lowers everyone’s costs. • Standards in . . . Standards out!

  4. Where We Stand • NYMEX ClearPortsm Trading • The Exchange’s web-based trading platform that offers access to more than 60 energy futures markets. • Accepts FIXML 4.2 messages. • Sends FIXML 4.2 messages. • Universal Trade Blotter • An API into the Exchange’s Trade Management System (TMS). • Will be FIXML 4.2 compliant soon. • Electronic Order Routing (EOR) • Will be FIXML 4.2 compliant. • Allocations • Allocate Trades via FIXML • Post Trade Processing • Trade File Formats in FIXML

  5. Our FIXML Future

  6. How We Get There • We are upgrading all of our systems to support the FIXML 4.2 protocol. • We cannot succeed alone. For FIXML to work, we need our industry’s cooperation. • The sooner we, as an industry, commit to a timeline for implementing FIXML 4.2, the sooner we will all be on the same platform. • In the long term, FIXML reduces everyone’s costs.
