FIX Trading Conference 2025: Orchestra In Action

LONDON, March 2025 – Atomic Wire, a leading FinTech firm specializing in financial messaging data, presented at the EMEA Trading Conference 2025, showcasing its contributions to the FIX Trading Community.

The session explored how Orchestra, a machine-readable specification framework, can address challenges in financial data interoperability through encoding abstraction, semantic inheritance, message variants, and compatibility checking. Atomic Wire demonstrated its suite of Orchestra community tools—including the Orchestra Build Tools, Orchestra Hub, and Orchimate—which enable seamless multi-protocol integration and real-time SQL queries over FIX data streams.

The presentation highlighted Orchestra’s potential to enhance efficiency, reduce ambiguity, and future-proof financial data processing, positioning it as a critical enabler for the evolving financial ecosystem.

Flink Forward 2022: Processing Semantically-Ordered Streams in Financial Services

SAN FRANCISCO, August 2022 - What if my data is already in order? Stream processing has given us an elegant and powerful solution for running analytic queries and logic over high volumes of continuously arriving data. However, in both Apache Flink and Apache Beam, the notion of time-ordering is baked in at a very low level, making it difficult to express computations that are interested in a semantic-, rather than time-ordering of the data.

In financial services, what often matters the most about the data moving between systems is not when the data was created, but in what order, to the extent that many institutions engineer a global sequencing over all data entering and produced by their systems to achieve complete determinism. How, then, can financial institutions and others best employ Stream Processing on streams of data that are already ordered? We cover various techniques that can make this work.
