Hi,

In India, there are multiple exchanges of Equity and Derivatives. The exchange codes for National Stock Exchange (NS) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BO) are defined. I would like to know the exchange codes for the following Exchnages:

  1. Multi-Commodity Exchange - MCX
  2. Currency exchange of MCX - MCXSX
  3. National Commodity & Derivative Exchange - NCDEX

What is the process of adding new exchanges in FIX Exchange codes?

Regards,
Shakir

FIX stopped keeping track of exchanges after having to revise such a list in FIX 4.2 only to have it be outdated shortly thereafter.

We switched to using the ISO standard as of FIX 4.3 - if you look at the definition for a field with “Exchange” data type it will say:
“String field (see definition of “String” above) representing a market or exchange using ISO 10383 Market Identifier Code (MIC).”

These are 4 digit codes that you can find here:

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Zoltan
