Hi All,

What is the FIX message that a buy side has to notify to sell side for exercising the options? Is it a trade/post trade activty? which version does it supports?

Please advise…

Thanks,
Harish

Excercising Options is a PostTrade action.

If you are using FIX.4.4+, you can use

Position Maintenance Request 35=AL
Position Maintenance Report 35=AM
Request for Positions 35=AN
Request for Positions Ack 35=AO
Position Report 35=AP
AssignmentReport 35=AW
