RE: [Quickfix-developers] unwanted automatic message

[Scott R. <sri...@fo...>]

Their spec apparently differs from that of FIX 4.2 (which they
supposedly use).  They do not include field 6 (AvgPx) on an execution
reject.  I modified toApp to supply a nominal value into this field for
execution rejects, and of course, now, every trade is accepted by their
dev server.

Thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction, I'm very new to
FIX, and I keep getting tripped up by what I'm sure is obvious to the
rest of the community.

You just need to determine why you are rejecting the message and fix the

problem.  Simply not sending the reject message will not solve your=20
problem as it still means the message isn't being processed.  You need=20
to find out why it is either not passing validation, or if you are=20
trying to pull out a field that does not exist.  The reject message you=20
are sending them will give you more information about exactly which=20
field you are expecting to find.
