> One goal for the Futures and Options workgroup is to determine whether Fix 4.1 can handle F&O products. If it is not, the group will recommend modifications. Another goal is to promote use of the specification so buy-side and sell-side firms, vendors, and exchanges do not write numerous different api’s to their systems. Please feel free to call me at 212-469-6088 to discuss.

> Bill,
The FIA in conjuction with the Futures and Options Working Group of the Fix Protocol Organization are currently working on a gap analysis with the intent of closing Futures and Options gaps in FIX 4.3. I am the lucky soul that is overseeing this initiative.
