fixl

Easily look up FIX definitions from the address bar.

fixl is a browser addon that helps you quickly look up FIX definitions on https://www.onixs.biz.

Install

Firefox users can get it from: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/fixl

Want to see this on your browser? I'd love some help testing!

Usage

In your address bar, just type:

fix <FieldName>

or

fix <TagNum>

fixl will search a local index of FIX tags from onixs.biz, and provide you links to the reference pages. You can narrow down results with:

fix <FieldName or TagNum> <FixVersion>

You can also use

fix <anything>

to go to the search page.

Updates

fixl keeps an internal index of the tag definitions on onixs.biz. FIX4.4 and FIX5.0 SP2 are searched by default, and neither standard has changed in some years, so this shouldn't go stale.

The local index is updated whenever:

• fixl is installed
• fixl is updated
• The list of "active" fix versions is updated in the setting page

That might change in the future; if you're having problems with stale data, let me know.

What is this?

The FIX standard describes a protocol used for information exchange between financial institutions. If you don't know what FIX is, then you probably don't want to. This is not the browser extension you're looking for.
