Hi Zobad,

The previous messages you posted were logon messages. In your order message I can already see an issue with tag 59. 0 is not a valid value. Symbol is also wrong. It should be an integer. I would advise you to have a look at the Rules of Engagement to check what are the valid values for each tag.

Best Regards,

Hi Panagiotis,

Thankyou for your help.

I made changes to Symbol tag and changed it to 1, I also removed the TIF tag, for Day. I am however receiving the same message.

Hi Zobad,

This time you introduced tag 1 which I don't know where you found :) Did you check the Rules of Engagement?

Hi Panagiotis,

Thank you again for all your help and been patient with me. I was able to place order over FIX successfully. However, when receiving execution report there were some required tags(ExecID plus other tags) that were missing from the execution report I received from CTrader server. This is a problem for us because before we were using datadictionary that required these tags that CTrader did not send.

So, is there a data dictionary xml file available for cTrader so we can use that with our software to determine which fields are required and which are not.

Thank you

Zobad
