Cancel/Replace amends qty to a value lower than Cum Qty

Imported from previous forum

A Cancel/Replace request, received for a partially filled order, amends the qty to a value lower than the Cum Qty. As the Leaves Qty ends up to be a negative value, we will cancel the order in the market…

What should we reply to the client?
-Execution Report with an order status "Replaced" or "Cancelled"?

  • With a reject first, then with an unsollicited cancellation?
    FIX 4.0 is not very clear on this matter.

Thanks,
Laurent

In that case we reply client with message number 35=9 cancel/replace reject with tag 102 and error reason.
