AUSTIN, Texas (Business Wire EON) July 7, 2008 -- To help financial trade desk personnel measure latency, speed troubleshooting, and reconstruct trade executions in order to minimize costly delays in brokerage transactions, NetQoS^® Inc. will present a live webcast on capturing and analyzing Financial Information Exchange (FIX) protocol transactions. The webcast will take place on Tuesday, July 8^th at 1:00 pm Eastern.

With trillions of dollars traded annually on the NASDAQ alone, financial service entities are investing heavily in optimizing electronic trading and employing direct market access (DMA). These systems enable these entities to increase their speed to financial markets, reduce latency, and comply with industry regulations that require order to execution and market data in a timely manner. For trade desk personnel, this requires an understanding of the FIX protocol to manage the delivery of trading applications and keep latency low. This webcast will explain:

• The drivers of FIX protocol application adoption
• The limitations of current FIX protocol management techniques and technologies
• How to reduce the complexity and skills needed to understand FIX messages
• How to gain visibility and gather metrics for FIX application response-time latency by order, client and symbol
• The value of trade reconstruction for rapid troubleshooting and order research
• The importance of proactive alerts on critical FIX and network (TCP) outages, message types, and application behavior
