Purge Request Message Fields

Request to cancel a group of orders across all of the firm’s sessions. A Purge Request is accepted only on dedicated FIX Purge Ports.

A firm may choose to implement one or more filters:

  1. MPID Filter - optionally cancel based on MPID. This is required for any self-imposed lockouts or for service bureaus. Set using first character of MassCancelInst (7700) and sending OnBehalfOfCompId (115).
  2. Symbol Filter - optionally cancel based on symbol. Set by sending a valid symbol in the Symbol (55) and SymbolSfx (65) fields. Cannot be combined with RiskGroupID filter.
  3. RiskGroupID Filter - optionally cancel based on RiskGroupID (7699). A maximum of 10 RiskGroupIDs may be included on a single Purge Request message. Set by populating RiskGroupIDCnt (7698) to a non-zero value. Cannot be combined with Symbol filter.

A firm may use the second character of MassCancelInst (7700) to set the acknowledgment style. If a single Purge Acknowledgment is selected, then MassCancelID (7695) must be sent.

A firm may also impose a lockout using the third character of MassCancelInst (7700), which cancels any open orders and causes inbound orders received after the lockout to be rejected. A self-imposed lockout requires an MPID (115) to be sent. The firm may also choose to lockout by Symbol or RiskGroupID (7698) but not by both in the same message.

RiskGroupID (7699) or MPID (115) purges with no Symbol (55) may be directed to a specific matching unit using the MatchingUnit (25017) optional field. If MatchingUnit (25017) is zero or not specified, then these purge types will be sent to all matching units starting with unit 1. Note that this may result in self-imposed, risk lockouts occurring on select units while other units are still trading.

The system limits the rate at which identical Purge Request messages can be submitted to the system. Requests are restricted to twenty (20) messages per second per port.

An identical purge message is defined as a message having all of the same RiskGroupID (7699), Symbol (55), SymbolSfx (65), OnBehalfOfCompId (115), MatchingUnit (25017), and Lockout Instruction field values, as a previously received message.

Table 1. Purge Request Message Fields
TagField NameReq’dDescription
35Standard Message HeaderYMsgType=‘F’
97PossResendN
  • Y=Indicates an application level unsolicited resend. If ClOrdID has not yet been seen, the cancel is treated as normal. If ClOrdID already exists, the resent cancel is ignored.
  • N=(Default) indicates a new cancel.
60TransactTimeYTime cancel initiated/released. Required by FIX 4.2 but not used by Cboe.
7700MassCancelInstY
  • At least one character must be provided (MPID Filter). Contiguous characters must be specified up to total length. Truncated (unspecified) characters will default to values indicated below.
  • 1st Character : MPID Filter
  • A=No filtering by MPID is performed.
  • F=All orders that were sent under the MPID specified in OnBehalfOfCompId (115) will be cancelled.
  • 2nd Character : Acknowledgment Style
  • M=(Default) Individual Execution Reports are sent for each cancelled order.
  • S=Single Purge Acknowledgment sent once all cancels have been processed. Single Purge Acknowledgment will contain MassCancelId (7695) and CancelledOrderCount (7696). MassCancelId (7695) must be specified or the Purge Request will be rejected.
  • B=Both individual Execution Reports and single Purge Acknowledgment. Also requires MassCancelId (7695) to be specified or the Purge Request will be rejected.
  • 3rd Character : Lockout Instruction
  • N=(Default) No lockout
  • L=Lockout until corresponding Risk Reset received. Lockout can be used only with MPID Filter set to ‘F’, otherwise the Purge Request will be rejected. Lockout will apply to all new orders and cancel/replace orders for the MPID (and symbol or RiskGroupId (7699), if specified).
  • A self-imposed lockout can be released using the RiskReset (7692) field of the New Order Single message.
7695MassCancelIDNMass Cancel ID - This field will be echoed back in the resulting Purge Acknowledgment when second character of MassCancelInst (7700) is set to ‘S’ or ‘B’. Purge requests containing a MassCancelID that is currently outstanding will be rejected.
55SymbolNSymbol (upper case). Limits cancellations to only orders with the specified symbol.
65SymbolSfxN
  • SymbolSfx: CQS or CMS suffix if used.
  • Do not send SymbolSfx if using Cboe format or if symbol does not have a suffix.
  • (Refer to Symbology link in the References chapter.)
  • 7698
  • Repeating Group
RiskGroupIDCntN
  • Number of repeating RiskGroupIDs (7699) included in this message.
  • Integer 0-10
➔7699RiskGroupIDN
  • RiskGroupID (7699) to cancel. Only present if RiskGroupIDCnt (7698) is non-zero.
  • Number of repeating groups must match number specified in RiskGroupIDCnt (7698).
25017MatchingUnitN
  • Matching unit number the Purge Request will be sent toward. If blank or 0, the Purge Request will be sent to all units. Incompatible with symbol-level purges, specifying both symbol and MatchingUnit (25017) will cause the Purge Request to be rejected.
  • If both MassCancelInst (7700) lockout instruction = L and MatchingUnit (25017) are specified, a lockout will occur and will impact only the specified matching unit. Subsequent risk resets will clear risk locks on all units.
