Hi,

The concept is a little unclear to me. As I understand it:

1)Order goes to the exchange
2)Order gets completely/partially filled
3)Execution report is sent
4)Exchange then cancels the already filled order which means the fills sent earlier should be invalidated ? and that order just simply got canceled by the exchange with fill amount = 0 ??

Thanks,

Busted trades are not so common on real exchanges, however, FX electronic trades are normally OTC. In that case you can get a trade from an ECN which then gets busted (cancelled). Depending on the platform, this may re-activate you order e.g.
Buy 5M EUR/USD @ 1.4675
Recieve partial fill for 1M (4M open)
Receive fully filled (0M open)
Receive trade bust for 1M (1M open)

Bil,

You can also refer to Appendix D - Order State Change Matrices - Test Case D34 for a clear understanding of trade bust and trade correction. This is very much possible in worked orders when the broker would like to give a different price to the client from what was previously communicated or if the client has requested for the same. In case of DMA its rarely observed but there is a possibility. Once a trade is busted, the order re-opens in the exchange for the remaining qty.

In Fix 4.2, you need to observe specifically the following tags in case of trade busting - 6, 14, 17, 19, 20, 31, 32, 39, 150, 151

Hi Bill,

As Sunil pointed it out you need to keep an eye out for the tags but I’d like to add that not all exchanges reinstate the quantities busted. IE put them back within the exchange as open quantity.

Exchanges such as Nasdaq, Chi-X, ARCA, etc do NOT reinstate quantities busted. If you look at the tag 151 for any leaves qty changes I think you’ll be fine as through experience I’ve found occasions where there’s unaccounted for quantity open at the market due to bad handling of the trade bust.

thanks,
Heshan.

In case of Bust, what is a practice for Tag 31 and 32 ?
Should Tag 31 and 32 zero’ed out?

Should FIX engine bust the bust if Tag 31 and 32 are not zero’ed out?
Please advise.

Ideally tag 17, 19 and 20 should be considered for busting the trade as they reflect the action to be taken on the referred execution. Followed by status tags to reflect the new status of the order (after busting).

The busting should be irrespective of tag 31 and 32 values.

Tag 31 and 32 would matter in case of trade amend (20=2) rather than trade busts.
