Hi,
Can I know the meaning of the field SendingTime（Tag 52）, whether it contain the time that the message was queued or the time the message was sent？
Thanks in advance

Timestamp by the FIX engine just before the engine sends it. Formally defined in the data dictionary as:
“Time of message transmission (always expressed in UTC (Universal Time Coordinated, also known as “GMT”)”

So the answer to your question is “the time the message was sent”. This field is typically added automatically by your FIX engine just before the message is sent (ie after any internal queuing) along with other transport related fields such as MsgSeqNum and CheckSum which cannot be predicted by application level code.
See Welcome fixwiki.org - BlueHost.com for a useful clarification by Hanno Klein on the difference between SendingTime and TransactTime.
