Hi all,
the forum search for “drop copy” did not reveal much useful information, so I am asking here:
What is the state-of-the-art way of implementing drop copies? We need to report orders entered via a non-FIX route back to the clients OMS using FIX messages.
Is the ExecutionReport message sufficient with some special tags?
Or shall we take something like TradeReport messages for this?
Suggestions can be based on FIX 4.4 or even FIX 5.0.
Many thanks, Jörg

Hi Jörg,
I would recommend using the Execution Report for front-office purposes and the Trade Capture Report for back-office ones. Always specify CopyMsgIndicator (797) = "Y"on a drop copy message. With the ER you have the ability to drop copy all order state changes, or fills only (subject to bilateral agrrement) - with the TCR you are restricted to trades.
Something to consider is what to do with the ClOrdID (11) on a drop copy session. To avoid conflicts you could remove the ClOrdID from the drop copy, require that users provide ClOrdID uniqueness across FIX sessions, add the originating SenderCompID (49) to the ClOrdID or have other usage rules. One possibility is to require the use of the receiver-assigned OrderID (37) on updates. Enhanced support for such complexities are available in FIX 5.0 SP1 through one the Global Exchanges and Markets Committee Gap Analysis’s.
Regards
Rikard

Hi Rikard,
thanks for the swift reply.
I would recommend using the Execution Report for front-office purposes

We will use the ExecutionReport for front-office purposes. The FIX 4.4 tag 797 is helpful here.

I found some hints on pages 15–16. The GUI client can generate unique ClOrdID values, but the conditionally required OrderID is probably the better way. We could also auto-generate ClOrdID from OrderID if ClOrdID is not provided.
Many thanks, Jörg

ClOrdID is not required in the Execution Report if you are sending drop copies or “notice of execution” (as many in the US calls this sort of thing in the front office). Usage comment does state that ClOrdID is conditionally required only if a FIX order was sent.
Jorg, I think you’re covered for what you need to do to the front office using the Execution Report and an OrderID assigned by the sender, plus a drop copy indicator.

Jörg,
this is a very relevant topic for exchanges and has been dealt with in the recommended practices document (chapter 3.2.3 Order Entry and Modification from Different Sources) and subsequent gap analysis (chapter 6.2 Order Identification) of the Global Exchanges and Markets Committee. The links are as follows:
http://www.fixprotocol.org/documents/3005/EEWG%20Recommended%20Best%20Practices%20-%20Phase%201%20V1.0.pdf
http://www.fixprotocol.org/documents/3603/FIX%20Protocol%20Gap%20Analysis%20-%20EEWG%20Phase%20I%20Reqs%200.34.zip
Complexity increases when the drop-copy is not only for informational purposes (797=CopyMsgIndicator) but when you want to allow the recipient of the drop-copy to also act upon the order, e.g. as a backup location.
Hope it helps,
Hanno.

Many thanks, Hanno.
Do you know of any user defined field to be used for pre FIX 4.4 messages? Possibly, we have to support this on FIX 4.2 links.
Cheers, Jörg

I am not familiar with the fields but there are a few you could look at. However, I would rather use a tag value above 10000 and chose the same name as the existing field from a higher FIX version. This eases a later transition to the FIX version that has this field as part of the standard.
5067 = DropID
9406 = DropCopyFlag
