A downside of FIX 4.1 is that it was released in April 1998, i.e. it is over 12 years old now. It only has 211 tags compared to the more than 1600 available with FIX 5.0 SP2, i.e. there are now 8 times as many tags as there were way back then. You might encounter numerous gaps in what you need to cover that have been closed with versions higher than 4.1. This depends on your scope and the gap analysis I recommend that you undertake. > Hi, > > I am just working on a project to implement a STP solution through FIX > connectivity.
