Drop copy

Drop copy is a read-only stream of order and trade activity for the clients your session is authorized to see. Delivery starts when you subscribe and continues until you clear the subscription.

Subscription flow

1. Send TradeCaptureReportRequest (35=AD) naming the client IDs to monitor.
2. The exchange replies with TradeCaptureReportRequestAck (35=AQ), saying whether the subscription is active or rejected.
3. When accepted, the exchange replays historical executions, then streams live drop copy ExecutionReport (35=8) traffic for the subscribed clients.
4. To stop delivery, send another request with SubscriptionRequestType (263)=2. This clears the subscription.

The drop copy session also accepts OrderMassStatusRequest (35=BG).

TradeCaptureReportRequest (35=AD)

Starts or adjusts a drop copy subscription. Supply at least one party entry with PartyRole (452)=3. Each PartyID (448) must be a decimal client identifier authorized for the FIX session.

TAG	NAME	TYPE	REQ	DESCRIPTION
568	TradeRequestID	string	N	Correlation identifier supplied by the client. Returned in the acknowledgement.
569	TradeRequestType	int	N	Scope of data requested. Only 0 = ALL_TRADES is supported; other values are ignored and treated as ALL_TRADES.
263	SubscriptionRequestType	char	N	Controls subscription lifecycle: 0: Snapshot (processed as snapshot + updates) 1: Snapshot + Updates (default) 2: Disable previous subscription (clears any active client list)
453	NoPartyIDs	int	Y	Number of party entries. Must be greater than zero and include at least one client identifier.
↳448	PartyID	string	Y	Decimal client identifier to authorize for drop copy delivery. Multiple entries are permitted.
↳452	PartyRole	int	Y	Role of the party entry. Must be 3 = Client ID. Entries with other roles are ignored.
55	Symbol	string	N	Optional symbol filter. Currently ignored.
167	SecurityType	string	N	Optional security type filter. Currently ignored.
54	Side	char	N	Optional side filter. Currently ignored.

If the request can't be parsed or contains unauthorized client identifiers, the session rejects the subscription and clears the in-memory client list.

TradeCaptureReportRequestAck (35=AQ)

Returned for every trade capture request, indicating whether the subscription is active. It echoes identifiers from the request when they are present.

TAG	NAME	TYPE	REQ	DESCRIPTION
568	TradeRequestID	string	N	Echoes the value from the request.
569	TradeRequestType	int	N	Echoes the value from the request.
263	SubscriptionRequestType	char	N	Echoes the value from the request.
911	TotNumTradeReports	int	N	Total number of trade reports in the snapshot. Not populated for the current implementation.
749	TradeRequestResult	int	Y	Outcome of the request: 0: Successful 3: Invalid parties (missing or malformed client identifiers) 8: TradeRequestType not supported 9: Unauthorized for trade capture report request 99: Other (unexpected error)
750	TradeRequestStatus	int	Y	Subscription state: 0: Accepted 1: Completed 2: Rejected
58	Text	string	N	Human-readable reason (e.g., “Trade capture subscription accepted”, “No authorized client party provided”, or “Unauthorized trade capture client identifier”).

Treat the request as rejected when TradeRequestStatus (750)=2 or when TradeRequestResult (749) is any value other than 0.

When the exchange acknowledges a disable request (SubscriptionRequestType=2), the result is 0 with text “Trade capture subscription cleared”. No further drop copy data is sent until you establish a new subscription.

ExecutionReport (35=8)

After it accepts a subscription, the exchange replays and streams execution reports for the authorized clients. The payload mirrors the execution reports on Order entry; key fields are below.

41	OrigClOrdID	string	C	Previous client order identifier for replace or cancel flows; unset for new orders.
44	Price	decimal128	C	Limit price for the order. Market orders report the internally stored price. Always present on accepted execution reports; on a NewOrderSingle reject, only included when the inbound request set Price.
54	Side	char	Y	Side of order: 1: Buy 2: Sell
55	Symbol	string	Y	Ticker symbol. Human-readable representation of the security.
58	Text	string	C	Human-readable reason text. Populated when ExecType (150)=8 (Rejected) with the rejection reason, and when ExecType (150)=4 (Canceled) if the matching engine reports a cancel reason. Not sent on other execution types.
59	TimeInForce	char	Y	Specifies how long the order remains in effect: 1: Good Till Cancel (GTC) 3: Immediate Or Cancel (IOC)
60	TransactTime	utc timestamp	Y	Time the execution report was generated.
150	ExecType	char	Y	Execution type, matching the values documented for order entry (e.g., 0 = New, 4 = Canceled, F = Trade).

Any other field from the order-entry execution reports may also appear, with the same meaning. Drop copy sessions never originate ExecutionReport messages; they only mirror activity the matching engine generates for the subscribed client identifiers.
