FIX would be one of the Order Entry methods in addition to the exchange specific interfaces. Order(s) from Buy sides would reach the exchange as FIX messages ^35=D^. Orders which pass the acceptence criteria set forth by the exchange get added to the Order book and the matching engine crosses matching orders as per "continous double auction"

Result of a cross would be execution report ^35=D^ when the party whose order got crossed is a FIX party.

Enjoy building ur mini-stock exchange :-)
