RE: [Quickfix-developers] isCorrectCompID

Brian, I also faintly recall hearing second/third-hand that CME uses 0
as a sequence number for all messages on a backup FIX session up until
it becomes a primary. Is there any truth to that?

Oren -

Just to make you aware, CME really does violence to the whole
SenderCompID tag. When they created their new FIX gateway a few years
back, they removed just about all the routing intelligence that had been
built into the old one. Due to this fact, they ended up needing a field
that would allow both the failover routing (that whole "U" versus "P"
thing) as well as multi-clearing firm support (for instance, one of my
clients clears under 5-6 different clearing firm numbers due to a number
of acquisitions over the years).=20
