Face-to-face electronic trading forum at Kuala Lumpur, 21 May 2009

The FIXGlobal Journal has successfully conducted The Electronic Trading Forum, Kuala Lumpur 2009 held at Bursa Malaysia on 21 May 2009. The FIXGlobal Journal is the FIX Protocol's official journal and key information/educational initiative for the global institutional electronic trading industry.

The forum, called FIXGlobal Face2Face, is designed by the buy- and sell-side communities to bring participants the very latest information on electronic trading, FIX, technologies and the trading issues.

FIXGlobal Face2Face forums feature lively debate between experts, sharing ideas and insight on implementing an effective electronic trading strategy, from choosing an OMS, through to exploiting DMA, and what it means to the buy-side and the markets themselves.

What is FIX? FIX is the Financial Information eXchange (FIX) Protocol, a series of messaging specifications for the electronic communication of trade-related messages. It has been developed through the collaboration of banks, broker-dealers, exchanges, industry utilities and associations, institutional investors, and information technology providers from around the world. These market participants share a vision of a common, global language for the automated trading of financial instruments.

For the event at Kuala Lumpur, the Plus Concept’s event team from Hong Kong came down to Kuala Lumpur to monitor all matters pertaining to the event, including catering services. Lusiana Catering has been invited to cater for this highly compact 1-day event.
