You can’t, because there aren’t any.

FIXML is a different data representation for application messages only. It does not define sequence numbers or session-level things like resend requests and gap fills.

FIXML cannot be used as a complete solution by itself, but must be coupled with some other mechanism to handle ordering. Two paths people follow are:

  1. Embed the FIXML messages in a standard FIX (tag=value) message, and use a standard FIX engine to handle things like ordered message delivery.

  2. Use something other than the FIX session layer to transport them and guarantee ordered delivery, i.e. vendor middleware solutions.
