OrderQty problem while trading indices
13 Jan 2025, 17:37

Hi, according to FIX specification, 38(OrderQty) must be integer. This is not an issue with FX pairs since they traded in USD (0.5 lot = 50000 USD), how can we trade US500 with sub 1 contracts ?

Number of shares ordered. This

represents the number of shares

for equities or based on normal

convention the number of

contracts for options, futures,

convertible bonds, etc. Maximum

precision is 0.01 (Prior to FIX 4.2

this field was of type int) - 

 

as far as I know all indices start from 0.10 and It’s also minimum value
