Finger Manager's real-time trading signal capability connects customer trading actions with the institution's downstream trading systems.
When a customer submits an order in Finger Trader, the order enters Finger Manager in real time. Manager can convert the original customer order into a standardized trading signal and send it through FIX to the configured OMS, broker, execution system, risk system, or other institutional trading infrastructure.
Depending on the business configuration, the same customer order can further generate a user order signal, mirror order signal, counter order signal, or other custom trading signal. In this process, Finger Manager is responsible for signal reception, standardization, rule processing, and FIX forwarding.

Real-time trading signals show how a customer order enters Manager, becomes a standardized signal, and can continue into FIX-based routing and downstream processing.
The customer first selects a product in Finger Trader and submits an order. The order may include customer account, Ticker or Symbol, Buy or Sell direction, order type, volume, order price, take profit, stop loss, submit time, and order number.
For example, the customer may submit a market buy order for NZD/USD with a volume of 0.01 lot. After submission, Finger Trader immediately sends the order to the trading backend.
After Finger Manager receives the client order, it creates the corresponding record in the real-time trading interface.
Back-office users can view fields such as Order ID, Customer, Account, Product, Side, Volume, Price, Order Type, Status, Submit Time, and Signal Source. Trading operations and risk teams can therefore see new orders without waiting for batch synchronization.
After the customer order enters Manager, it can be converted into a standardized trading signal with a unified field structure.
The signal can contain customer and account information, Symbol, Side, Quantity, Price, Order Type, Time in Force, Order ID, Source, Target, Signal Type, and other FIX extension fields. This standardization allows signals from different sources to enter the same downstream trading workflow.
The most basic signal type is the user order signal. It preserves the original customer order as much as possible and represents what the customer actually submitted.
For example, it may contain Customer: John Smith, Symbol: NZD/USD, Side: Buy, Quantity: 0.01 lot, and Price: 0.59611. Manager can then send this order onward in FIX message format.
Based on institutional configuration, Finger Manager can generate a mirror order from the original customer order. A mirror order usually keeps the same trading direction as the original order.
For example, if the original order is Buy XAU/USD 1 lot and the rule is 100% mirror, the generated signal is also Buy XAU/USD 1 lot. If the customer buys 10 lots and the mirror ratio is 50%, the generated signal is Buy 5 lots.
The system can also generate a counter order based on business rules. A counter order usually uses the opposite direction of the original customer order.
For example, if the customer submits Buy NZD/USD 1 lot, the system can generate Sell NZD/USD 1 lot. The actual counter quantity can be adjusted by institutional risk rules and does not always need to be one-to-one.
A single customer order can generate multiple downstream trading signals.
For example, a customer Buy XAU/USD 10 lot order can produce an Original Signal for Buy 10 lots, a Mirror Signal for Buy 5 lots, and a Counter Signal for Sell 3 lots. Different signals can be sent to different FIX Sessions or destination systems.
Institutions can decide whether to generate a specific signal type based on customer, customer group, account, Broker, Trading Desk, Symbol or Ticker, market, side, order volume, order type, risk status, or other custom conditions.
For example, an institution can generate mirror orders only for XAU/USD, generate counter orders only for a specific customer group, or forward all orders in their original direction through FIX.
After a trading signal is processed, it can be sent to the configured target through FIX.
A typical path is: Finger Trader -> Finger Manager -> Signal Processing -> FIX Session -> OMS, Broker, Execution System, or institution system. This design allows Finger Manager to connect with existing financial trading infrastructure that already uses standard FIX connectivity.
The actual FIX message depends on the institution's integration agreement, FIX version, and business requirements.
Order-related FIX messages commonly include fields such as ClOrdID, Symbol, Side, OrderQty, OrdType, Price, TimeInForce, TransactTime, Account, and other standard or custom tags. Finger Manager can convert internal trading signals to FIX messages based on the agreed FIX Mapping.
Different trading destinations can use different FIX Sessions. For example, FIX Session A may connect to Broker A, FIX Session B may connect to an internal OMS, and FIX Session C may connect to an external Execution System.
The institution can route each signal based on market, product, customer, account, signal type, and order rules.
FIX is used not only to send orders, but also to receive order status reports from downstream systems.
For example, downstream systems may return Pending, New, Partially Filled, Filled, Rejected, or Cancelled. Finger Manager can update the corresponding order status based on FIX Execution Report messages.
When Manager receives downstream FIX reports, it can update order status in the trading console.
A typical lifecycle is: customer submits order, Manager shows Pending, the order is sent through FIX, the broker accepts it and returns an Execution Report, Manager updates the status to New, and when the order is filled, Manager updates the final status. Back-office users can monitor the order lifecycle from the real-time trading page.
Trading signal sources are not limited to Finger Trader.
Depending on the institution's system architecture, Finger Manager can also receive trading signals from Finger Trader MT5, the institution's own trading system, OMS, third-party trading platforms, or other FIX systems. After entering Manager, different sources can be normalized into an internal standard structure and then processed or forwarded through FIX.
Finger Manager can centralize the current trading signals and order status for trading operations and risk teams.
The interface may show Open Positions, Pending Orders, Filled Today, Risk Alerts, customer, product, side, volume, price, signal type, FIX status, and current order status, so teams can observe the real-time trading chain from one place.
Trading signals and final execution are different concepts.
When Finger Manager generates and sends an order through FIX, it only means the trading request has entered the downstream processing flow. The order may become Filled, or it may be Rejected, Cancelled, or Partially Filled. Final execution and execution price should be based on downstream FIX Execution Reports or official execution data.
Finger Manager provides trading signal processing and FIX connectivity.
Whether an order is sent, where it is sent, whether it is mirrored, whether a counter order is generated, whether the quantity is adjusted, whether it enters risk checks, and which broker or execution venue ultimately handles it are all determined by the institution's business model and system configuration. Finger Manager does not make trading decisions for the institution.
User orders, mirror orders, counter orders, and other trading signals may involve different trading and risk management models.
Before configuring related features, the institution should independently confirm its licensing and regulatory scope, customer agreements, order execution model, conflict management requirements, best execution requirements, risk policy, and applicable laws. Finger Manager provides technical infrastructure and FIX connectivity, and does not represent regulatory approval of any specific business model.
The complete real-time trading signal flow can be understood as: customer order -> Finger Manager real-time reception -> standardized trading signal -> user order, mirror order, or counter order by rule -> FIX message conversion -> configured FIX Session -> downstream OMS, broker, or execution system -> FIX Execution Report -> Finger Manager real-time status update.
The core of this page is not simply to view live orders. It explains how an order enters Manager and becomes a real-time trading signal that can be transmitted and processed through FIX across the institution's trading infrastructure.
