Account

String

Order-routing account

The value matches the Tag 1 (Account) in the corresponding request.

Note: Account names are stored as case-sensitive strings. Users must match case-sensitivity when using Tag 1 (Account).

Condition: Sent when available.

Note: When the value represents an internal, non-routing account, TT also sends a PartiesGrp with the external routing (parent) account in tag 448 (PartyID) and with tag 452 (PartyRole) set to 24 (Customer Account).

762

SecuritySubType

String

Sub-type qualification or identification of the SecurityType

For example, an instrument with SecurityType(167)="MLEG" might use this tag to specify the name of the option or futures strategy, such as "Calendar", "Vertical", or "Butterfly".

For sythetic staged orders, i.e., HandlInst (21)=3 and SecurityType(167)="Sythentic", the TT FIX engine checks whether the instrument already exists and automatically creates the synthetic spread if the instrument does not exist.

Note: This tag can be included in messages sent from TT FIX Drop Copy sessions when the Compliance Feed (Send original order/cancel/change messages and pending execution reports) setting is enabled in Setup.

Tag #	Field Name	Req’d	Data type	Comments
10	Checksum	Y	String	Unencrypted three-character checksum This tag must always be the last field in a message (i.e. it serves, with the trailing <SOH>, as the end-of-message delimiter).

Message Notes

The Security Definition (d) message is used to send information about an exchange-listed instrument. TT FIX sends zero or more of these messages to a FIX client in response to a Security Definition Request (c). A security definition contains all standing data at the markets that matches the filter criteria sent in the Security Definition Request (c). After TT FIX delivers standing data to the FIX client, TT FIX sends unsolicited updates to that list of standing data (for instance, if a market lists a new product at midday).

Determining tick sizes and tick values

To determine the tick size and tick value of a given contract, the FIX client must:

In the Security Definition Request (c) message, set Tag 17000 (RequestTickTable) = Y.

With the resulting Security Definition (d) message, calculate the values using the following algorithm.

if tag 16456 (NumTickTblEntries) == 0
{
  (The tick size (and tick value) are the same for all prices.)
  Tick Size (for all prices) = Tag 16552 (ExchTickSize)
  Tick Value (for all prices) = Tag 16552 (ExchTickSize) * Tag 16554 (ExchPointValue)
}
else
{
  (The tick size and tick value vary by price level.)
  Base Tick Size = Tag 16552 (ExchTickSize)
  P = price in Points (decimal) for which the tick size is required
  for (int i = 0; i < Tag 16456 (NumTickTblEntries); i++)
  {
    if ( P < (Tag 16458 (MaxPrice) for row i) )

Working with spreads and strategies

When a FIX client requests a security definition for a spread or strategy, TT FIX responds by sending:

A Security Definition (d) for the spread itself. A leg repeating group exists for each leg of the spread. Tag 555 (NoLegs) is set to the total number of leg repeating groups (spread legs) associated with the spread.
One Security Definition (d) for each leg of the spread.
