Range for User Defined FIX Tags in FIXSBE

1

Hello everyone,

I noticed in User Defined Fields • FIX Trading Community that the tag range for User Defined Fields is defined as 20000-39999.
Is the same applicable for FIXSBE? And what are the issues in creating fields with tags/ids over 40000?

Would highly appreciate your feedback.

Thank you,
Gabriel Dumitru

40000+ are assigned by FTC, e.g. see https://fiximate.fixtrading.org/en/FIX.Latest/tag40001.html

Can’t comment on the SBE question.

Best regards

Simple Binary Encoding (SBE) is an encoding for the FIX Protocol. Tags are only defined for the FIX Protocol and can be encoded in different ways, SBE being only one of them:

Note that SBE can be used for FIX and non-FIX interfaces. It is a standard for binary encodings and useful when latency is most important.
