SWX FIX Connectivity
With this type of connectivity, the SWX Trading System does not have to be installed at the premises of the participant.
Instead, the SIX Swiss Exchange operates a Trading System Windows Server centrally for several participants.
Data is exchanged using the FIX standard protocol via a virtual private network (VPN).

For order entry and management, the participant requires a FIX-compatible application developed by the
participant itself or a third party. With an SWX FIX connection, the participant does not have access
to full functionality. This means, for example, that current market data and the order-book depth must
be obtained via a third party (Telekurs, Bloomberg, etc.).
This type of connectivity is suitable for participants who are buyers in the retail business and
already have FIX applications and FIX experience.

SWX Platform and Associated Systems.
The Member Support Center (MSC)
