Fixed Income Trading: New venues ( How many Fixed Income trading venues are there? )

How many Fixed Income trading venues are there? [164] Last update 21st April 2022 A simple question came up recently in a conversation – how many new Fixed Income trading venues are there? I could not think of anywhere that maintained a comprehensive list, so I decided to try and put something together. A list of Fixed Income Trading Venues.

What's the difference between an EMS and an OMS?

Suggestion: it’s directional, asset-class and/or execution style related… If you got here from google - try also OMS and EMS

Middleware: RESTful interfaces ActiveMQ vs RabbitMQ vs Solace Systems

One use-case for Message Oriented Middleware is to provide a RESTful endpoint. This post looks at some options for how to do this for a specific use case:

The OEMS, dead-end or an idea before it’s time?

Previous posts, here , here and here have covered the OMS and EMS world but never the integrated OEMS, a deficit I will cover today. Firstly, the name. OEMS stands for “Order and Execution Management System”. As mentioned, an OMS is inwards looking and an EMS outwards looking. So why merge them into one application and how is that done?

FX Trading: New venues

We've already done this for Fixed Income, so by popular request, a list of FX Trading Venues. This is a work-in-progress, please feel free to correct/amend by adding comments...

Excel RTD Server implementation in C#......Part 1

What is an Excel RTD Server?

What is a FIX engine? [Updated]

In a number of consulting roles over the years I've been asked this question. It's something that I still get asked so I'll describe my view. First, some history on the firms in the FIX engine market sector, then some narrative.

Shakti - replacement for kdb+ ? And MQTT

The main (very large) brain behind kdb+, Arthur Whitney , has been working on a new project since January 2019. The firm is called Shakti which is: " Shakti is designed to manage streaming, in-memory and historical data in any format. Structured data, such as relational or time-series data can co-exist alongside, semi-structured and unstructured data creating a single platform for storage and analytics. Our technology takes advantage of the latest in hardware advancements from multi-core architectures, CPU cache, RAM, SSD and Intel® Optane™ technology all the way to cloud storage.

Agile with an "A" and an "a"

Had some interesting conversations lately around "Agile" and "agile".
