Submitting Orders with Multiple ComponentsThe New Order List message (MsgType=E) is used by the T4 FIX API to electronically submit (multiple-component) orders to an exchange for execution. Orders with multiple components are also known as Batch Orders. They are identified by its Contingency Type (Tag 1385). Batch orders can only contain (contituent) orders for the same account and market. The New Order List is built by specifying its type of Contingencytype (Tag 1385), target instrument (Tags 48, 55, 207, 167), account (Tag 1) and by adding each individual order to the TotNoOrders repeating group (Tag 68).
This message is used for all strategy types including outright futures, futures options, spreads and multileg strategies. The instrument for which the order is submitted is identified with the following tags: Tag 48 (SecurityID), Tag 55 (Symbol), Tag 207 (SecurityExchange) and Tag 167 (SecurityType). Options orders must also include the Strike Price (Tag 202) and the PutOrCall indicator (Tag 201). Lists of tradeable securities can be requested with the
Security Definition Request message (MsgType=c).
In addition to full market specification, all new orders must be uniquely identified with a verbose (>12 characters) Client Order Id (Tag 11). The subscribed account (Tag 1) for which the order is submitted must also be provided.
Malformed order messages (including missing required tags, empty tags, invalid tag value range, etc.) will be rejected with a FIX Session
Reject message. Order composition errors are identified with rejection
Execution Reports (Tag 150=8).
Order Types with multiple Components
The T4 FIX API offers the following non-standard
Special Order types which carry multiple components:
