Dear expert,

I am thinking how to achieve an effective FX price streaming. Currently I am using Quote (35=S) in FIX4.2. However each Quote message only contain a single price update (eg. USDJPY Spot price at 91.83/91.86). If I want to consolidate multiple price updates in a single FIX message, what should I do? Should I employ Mass Quote (35=i) or using more updated FIX version?

Grateful if you have any advice or suggestion.

Cheers,  
Jack

The Global FX Committee recommends using FIX 5.0 and later for streaming prices using the Market Data messages. See the Foreign Exchange section of Volume 7 of FIX 5.0, or later, specification.
