Tag 40=H	OrdType	Specifier of Hit Order Type
Tag 54	Side	Set to 1 (BUY) to hit the best offer (buying at the best offer price). Set to 2 (SELL) to hit the best bid (selling at the best bid price)
Tag 48	SecurityID	Market for which the order is sent
Tag 55	Symbol	Contract for which the order is sent
Tag 207	SecurityExchange	Exchange for which the order is sent
Tag 167	SecurityType	Security Type (e.g. Futures) of this specific market
