Hello All,

I’m a UC Berkeley student doing a study about the future of FIX (and trading in general). I am here to get some views from you professionals.

I hope you can find time to share your views of following quesions:

  1. Do you think that in future FIX networks are going to be so well connected to each other that it will resemble Internet? It will not matter which FIX network you join, you will end up being able to connect every FIX user in this planet.
  2. How new technologies are going to affect future of trading? Is it going to be like Ebay? Are brokers needed anymore, since we can all use FIX (or some other) to connect straight to the market place?
  3. Which companies are going to be, in your opinion, the strongest players of FIX trading and why? Don’t over praise your own company :wink:

I wish you can all post your opinion about this topic.
