Rule 3370 - Affirmative Determination

Imported from previous forum

Hi,

According to the SEC rule 3370, non-member broker/dealers must now supply two extra bits of information on orders:

  1. LocateRequired
  2. Short Delivery Source Broker

For non-short sell orders, these are empty.

For short sell orders, they would contain the following information

  1. ‘Y’
  2. Firm covering short position.

Has anyone discussed what tags should be used for this?

I should specify that this is for FIX 4.0/2.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
