We do all of our Spot and Forward F/X trading with our dealers via FIX. I am aware of at least one electronic FX trading platform which has or is building support for FIX.

> We had a long internal discussion and were discussing to use TWIST, an own format or FIX. At the end we decided to use FIX, because it seems to us, that at the moment it is the widest spreaded standard format. We will start in the next month a electronic service for our customers and seems to be accepted quite well.
