Introduction

This document defines the semantics for the key order handling paradigms of the FIX application layer related to the ExecutionReport(35=8) message. The semantics are mainly driven by only two FIX fields as follows:

  • ExecType(150) conveys the reason for the ExecutionReport(35=8) message to have been sent.
  • OrdStatus(39) conveys the current status of an order, i.e. after the event causing the message to be sent.

The various scenarios are grouped as follows and primarily reflect the different events that could occur during the lifetime of an order.

A – Order executions (aka Vanilla)

B – Order cancellations

C – Order modifications

D – Order sequencing and chaining

E – Order restatements

F – Order rejections

G – Order status information

H – Multi-day orders (GTC)

I – Non-resting orders (IOC, FOK)

J – Execution corrections and cancellations

K – Trading halts

L – Miscellaneous

Many of the events change the quantity fields of an order. The main fields shown in the scenarios are as follows:

  • OrderQty(38) – total executable quantity
  • CumQty(14) – executed quantity
  • LastQty(32) – quantity of last execution
  • LeavesQty(151) – quantity remaining for execution

An order can be in more than one state since the owner was last informed. The precedence rules governing the setting of OrdStatus(39) are defined in Chapter 2 Order State Precedences. The first set of scenarios set out in Chapter 3 General Order State Change Matrices are of general nature and are not limited to a specific environment or asset class. A much smaller set of scenarios is defined in Chapter 4 Order State Change Matrices for Exchanges. They mirror general scenarios but define a different workflow specific to exchanges and other electronic trading venues. The key difference is the reduced verbosity of workflows, i.e. less messages are used to convey the same amount of information on an order.

Order State Precedences

In an ExecutionReport(35=8) message OrdStatus(39) is used to convey the current state of the order. If an order simultaneously exists in more than one order state, the value with highest precedence is the value that is reported in OrdStatus(39). The order statuses are as follows (in highest to lowest precedence):

Precedence OrdStatus Description
11 Pending Cancel Order with a pending cancel request, used to confirm receipt of an OrderCancelRequest(35=F) message. DOES NOT INDICATE THAT THE ORDER HAS BEEN CANCELED.
10 Pending Replace Order with a pending replacement request, used to confirm receipt of an OrderCancelReplaceRequest(35=G) message. DOES NOT INDICATE THAT THE ORDER HAS BEEN REPLACED.
9 Done for Day Order not, or partially, filled; no further executions forthcoming for the trading day
8 Calculated Order has been completed for the day (either filled or done for day). Commission or currency settlement details have been calculated and reported in this execution message
7 Filled Order completely filled, no remaining quantity
6 Stopped Order has been stopped at the exchange. Used when guaranteeing or protecting a price and quantity
5 Suspended Order has been placed in suspended state at the request of the client.
4 Canceled Canceled order with or without executions
4 Expired Order has been canceled in broker’s system due to TimeInForce(59) instructions. The only exceptions are Fill or Kill and Immediate or Cancel orders that have Canceled as terminal order state.
3 Partially Filled Outstanding order with executions and remaining quantity
2 New Outstanding order with no executions
2 Rejected Order has been rejected by sell-side (broker, exchange, ECN). NOTE: An order can be rejected subsequent to order acknowledgment, i.e. an order can pass from New to Rejected status.
2 Pending New Order has been received by sell-side’s (broker, exchange, ECN) system but not yet accepted for execution. An execution message with this status will only be sent in response to a OrderStatusRequest(35=H) message.
1 Accepted for bidding Order has been received and is being evaluated for pricing. It is anticipated that this status will only be used with the BidType(394) = 2 (Disclosed style) List Order Trading model.

General Order State Change Matrices

The following matrices are included to clarify the sequence of messages and the status of orders involved in the submission and processing of new orders, executions, cancel requests, cancel/replace requests and order status requests. The matrices have been arranged in groups as follows.

Overview of Scenarios

A Vanilla

Ref Description
A.1.a Filled order
A.1.b Part-filled day order, done for day

B Cancel

Ref Description
B.1.a Cancel request issued for a zero-filled order
B.1.b Cancel request issued for a part-filled order – executions occur whilst cancel request is active
B.1.c Cancel request issued for an order that becomes filled before cancel request can be accepted
B.1.d Cancel request issued for an order that has not yet been acknowledged
B.1.e Cancel request issued for an order that has not yet been acknowledged – the acknowledgment and the cancel request ‘cross’
B.1.f Cancel request issued for an unknown order

C Cancel/Replace quantity changes

C.1 Replace to increase quantity

Ref Description
C.1.a Zero-filled order, cancel/replace request issued to increase order qty
C.1.b Part-filled order, followed by cancel/replace request to increase order qty, execution occurs whilst order is pending replace
C.1.c Filled order, followed by cancel/replace request to increase order quantity

C.2 Replace not for quantity change

Ref Description
C.2.a Cancel/replace request (not for quantity change) is rejected as a fill has occurred

C.3 Replace to decrease quantity

Ref Description
C.3.a Cancel/replace request sent whilst execution is being reported – the requested order qty exceeds the cum qty. Order is replaced then filled
C.3.b Cancel/replace request sent whilst execution is being reported – the requested order qty equals the cum qty – order qty is amended to cum qty
C.3.c Cancel/replace request sent whilst execution is being reported – the requested order qty is below cum qty – order qty is amended to cum qty

D Cancel/Replace sequencing and chaining

D.1 Sequencing

Ref Description
D.1.a One cancel/replace request is issued which is accepted – another one is issued which is also accepted
D.1.b One cancel/replace request is issued which is rejected before order becomes pending replace – then another one is issued which is accepted
D.1.c One cancel/replace request is issued which is rejected after it is in pending replace – then another one is issued which is accepted

D.2 Chaining

Ref Description
D.2.a One cancel/replace request is issued followed immediately by another – broker processes sequentially
D.2.b One cancel/replace request is issued followed immediately by another – broker processes pending replaces before replaces
D.2.c One cancel/replace request is issued followed immediately by another – both are rejected
D.2.d One cancel/replace request is issued followed immediately by another – broker rejects the second as order is pending replace

E Unsolicited/Reinstatement

Ref Description
E.1.a Telephoned order
E.1.b Unsolicited cancel of a part-filled order
E.1.c Unsolicited replacement of a part-filled order
E.1.d Unsolicited reduction of order quantity by sell side (e.g. for US ECNs to communicate Nasdaq SelectNet declines)
E.1.e Unsolicited cancel of ‘cancel if not best’ order
E.1.f Order is sent to exchange, held waiting for activation and then activated

F Order Reject

L.1.b Use of CashOrderQty

Scenarios for State Transitions

The table below shows which state transitions have been illustrated by the matrices in this section (marked with an asterisk). The row represents the current value of OrdStatus(39) and the column represents the next value as reported back to the buy-side via an execution report or order cancel reject message. Next to each OrdStatus(39) value is its precedence – this is used when the order exists in a number of states simultaneously to determine the value that should be reported back. Note that absence of a scenario should not necessarily be interpreted as meaning that the state transition is not allowed:

OrdStatus (precedence value) New (2) Partially

Filled (4)

Filled (8) Done

For

Day (10)

Pending Cancel (12) Pending

Replace (11)

Canceled (5) Rejected (2) Stopped (7)

3 Execution(X) Rejected Rejected 10000 0 0 0 Order finally arrives and is detected as a duplicate of a verbal order and is therefore rejected. OrdRejReason = duplicate of a verbal order

Note that the sell-side may employ a number of mechanisms to detect that the electronic order is potentially a duplicate of a verbally passed order, e.g. :

  • Checking the possdup flag on the order message header
  • Checking the incoming order details against other orders from the same client (e.g. side, quantity)
  • Looking at the transact time on the order as a guide to ‘staleness’

Order State Change Matrices for Exchanges

This section addresses issues with order state changes in an exchanges or marketplace environment. These supplement the general Order State Change Matrices above and are documented as specific to exchanges and marketplaces. The titles and references have been chosen in accordance with the general matrices. These specific cases supersede the general ones when implementing the FIX Protocol for exchanges and centralized marketplaces. General Order State Changes matrices that are not mentioned in this section apply to the exchange and centralized marketplace environment. Please also refer to the general Order State Change Matrices defined in Chapter 3 General Order State Change Matrices.

Overview of Scenarios

A Vanilla

Ref Description
A.1.a Filled order after order rests on book
A.1.b Part-filled day order after order rests on book, done for day
A.1.c Order filled upon hitting the book
A.1.d Order partially filled upon hitting the book

I TimeInForce

Ref Description
I.1.a Fill or Kill order cannot be filled
I.1.b Immediate or Cancel order that cannot be immediately hit

Applicability of general scenarios depicted in Chapter 3 General Order State Change Matrices for electronic exchange/ECN environments:

  • Filled and Canceled are considered to be terminal states of an order, i.e. a state transition from Filled or Canceled to Partially Filled or Pending Replace should be avoided.
  • Pending order states requiring additional messages should be avoided in the interest of performance.

The ExecType is used to identify the purpose of the execution report message. The value of ExecType will typically be New to convey the fact that a new order has been received and processed. However, the value of OrdStatus in this initial response may not necessarily be New as the order might have been executed immediately. The initial value of OrdStatus can therefore also be Partially Filled or Filled. It can even be Canceled if the order has time in force values such as Fill or Kill and Immediate or Cancel and the order could not be executed immediately (and in its entirety in case of Fill or Kill).

The following diagram illustrates the complete set of state transitions recommended for electronic exchange/ECN environments. The dotted lines lead to initial order states other than New and apply to cases where an order does not simply rest on the order book after having been accepted by the exchange/ECN. It is a possibility aimed at increasing performance by reducing the overall number of “Execution Report” messages that need to be provided and processed. Message flows with explicit messages to convey the order state New are equally possible.
