What is the FIX FAST protocol?
FIX FAST stands for FIX Adapted for STreaming. FIX is the industry-driven messaging standard that was created in 1992 and the FIX Protocol Organization more recently developed the FAST protocol as a common industry standard for real-time market data. The FAST algorithm has the ability to reduce the bandwidth requirements by 70-80% over a standard FIX message. ISE is an active member and sponsor of the FIX Protocol Organization.
