Discussion of API perspective - (From Luke via email) Here is the skinny as it pertains to Uncredit (but others as well). 

...

BUY and SELL are communicated in terms of the client perspective.


QuoteRequest:
- BID -> BUY 
- OFR -> Sell
MassQuote:
- BID -> Bid
- OFR-> Ofr
NewOrderSingle:
- BID -> BUY
- OFR -> SELL
1.  Currenex Ouch - this means quoteRequest has BID (which, in Classic parlance means BUY), they will send an OFR in the MassQuote.  This seems to be the source of confusion (and why we need to ditch classic ASAP).
2. FXAll order book.  This is flipped (done w/o code review...sigh), we should fix ASAP and work with each customer to correct
- Nomura
- Aston
- Unicredit
3. Bloomberg FXGo - this is fine. follows convention.
4. FastMatch - this is fine.  Follows convention5. 360T - looks fine from a quick overview, will confirm by doing more thorough code review.
