    Unordered List ItemThe rejected orders error message is generated when the stop price is within 12 points of ask price.

In this example, the stop price should be at least 9911 + 12 = 9923.

  • How can I tell what account type I have?

    • Checking on Trading station: To check the type of account you have, you can login to Trading station and look in the tab “Accounts”. Scroll to the end and find column Type. Y = Hedging is allowed; N = Hedging is not allowed, O = Netting only, D = Day netting, F = FIFO
    • FIX: Using tag 453 and 803 (PartySubIDType) Y = Heding, N = No Hedging, 0 = Netting. This is located on page 34 of the documentation.

  • Why did I get the following error message:“tag specified out of required order”

    This error message is generated when the tag order does not pass our system check. You can avoid this by setting ValidateFieldsOutOfOrder=N in your config file.

  • Limit order Day order vs Limit IOC/FOK A Limit Order is an order to buy or sell a predetermined amount at a specified price. This order will be filled only when the market price equals the specified limit price or better. Limit orders also allow a trader to limit the length of time an order can be outstanding before being canceled with the following time in force values GTC, DAY, GTD, IOC, FOK.

    The Limit price for order with TIF GTC or DAY (for future execution) should be market or better than current market price, but for orders with TIF IOC or FOK (immediate execution) the Limit price should be market or worse. This is because IOC/FOK orders will be sent immediately for execution, without waiting for the market price to reach the Limit price.

    If the current Bid is 100, and you place a Sell Limit IOC/FOK at 102, this order will be rejected because the Limit price has to be market or worse for IOC/FOK, (it would be like asking to get order filled immediately at 102 or better).

    If your intention was to control the slippage, you can use a Limit OIC or FOK. The Limit price should be the Bid price or below. So in this example, if Limit=98, the order will be filled at 98 or better, but because it’s immediate execution, if for any reason the order can’t be filled in few attempts, the order will be canceled. Can you fix the paragraph spacing below?

  • What is the Base Unit Size (also the minimum trade size) For all FX instruments - tag 53 in collateral report(35=BA) For each CFD - tag 228 in Trading Session Status ( 35=h)

  • How can i get Positions side and quantity from open position report:

First you need to send position report request 35=AN with 724=0 (open position), 724=1 is for closed positions. if you have open position you will get positon report 35=AP for each open position. If you don’t have it you will receive “no open position” in message AO instead of 35=AP message. In the positon report, you need to look at 704 (LongQty) or 705(shortQty) If you see 704 it is long order (buy order), if you see 705 it is short order (sell order).
