I have a hard time to find learning materials for FIX.
Any suggestions?

FIX resources
Shakyamuni,
I assume you're familiar with www.fixprotocol.org? They have a listserve mailing list where you can contact other people working fix implementations directly.
Unfortunately, I searched the archives and best I could come up were the following ...
Good luck. If you do find anything useful, please post it back. I'm interested in good FIX documentation as well.
Cheers,
Kevin

The working docs are at http://www.fixprotocol.org/cgi-bin/Work ... =994459967One day there'll be ISO XML - the result of the effort to converge FIX & ISO 15022 onto a single internally-consistent set of messages - complete with UML-style documentation.
But it's not complete or signed-off just yet!
And of course, current standards are found here: http://www.fixprotocol.org/cgi-bin/Spec.cgi?menu=4[...] there will be a FIX / 15022 "universal" set of message specs - one day, it has to be said - which day that will be is open to question. It's certainly some way off, so while FIX / 15022 will be an all singing, all dancing specification, I would suggest that just to "keep your eyes on the prize" you investigate FIXML 4.3 as a way to get started right now.
With regard to other standards beyond FIX I suggest that this depends on the business requirements. For "straight" cash equity front office business then FIX is great, and a lot of people are adopting FIX for fixed income, f/x and other instruments. If you are involved with derivatives in a big way then FpML is something to look at.
If you are more involved in mid/back office then there is a growing amount of FIX coverage with allocations and so on.
Good luck. If you do find anything useful, please post it back. I'm interested in good FIX documentation as well.
Cheers,
Kevin

You might also check out:

This is an open source FIX implementation that has a Java API.
I haven't used it but it's probably a decent starting point.
