Hello,

I’m a bit confused concerning the OrigClOrdID value to set-up in an Order Cancel/Replace Request when we performed several modifications on the same order.

This is the situation:

1. we send a New Order Single message:  
ClOrdID = 943353150
2. we modify this order, so we send a Cancel/Replace request:  
ClOrdID = 943353151 and OrigClOrdID = 943353150
3. now, we modify again this order, so we send another Cancel/Replace request:  
ClOrdID = 943353152 and OrigClOrdID = ?

According to FIX 4.0 specification, it seems the OrigClOrdID should be always the original ClOrdID. So, OrigClOrdID = 943353150 in all Cancel/Replace requests.

According to FIX 4.1 specification, it seems the OrgiClOrdID should be always the previous ClOrdID. So, OrigClOrdID = 943353151 for point 3.

Are these interpretations correct?

Thanks for your help.

In your example, OrigClOrdID should be 943353151 on the third one. This was clarified in FIX 4.1: The Cancel/Replace message’s OrigClOrdID Comments=“ClOrdID of the previous order (NOT the initial order of the day) when canceling or replacing an order”.
