Message Notes

The Security Definition (d) message is used to send information about an exchange-listed instrument. The third-party FIX acceptor sends one or more of these messages to a TT FIX Price Gateway in response to a Security Definition Request (c). A security definition contains all standing data at the markets.. The third-party FIX acceptor should send Security Definition (d) messages for all contracts and send new Security Definition (d) messages if any of the contract details, such as tick size, change.
