[Quickfix-developers] Initiator Application + Required tag missing:553

[Rasheed W. <ras...@gm...>]

Hello QuickFIX Experts,

I am a newbie to FIX & QuickFIX world. And I am trying to write a Tradelink
FIX based connector using QuickFIX for my broker (data provider).

I am kind of stuck and I don't understand why my application keeps looking
for tag "553" although its not supposed to do so. And I don't understand how
to turn it off. I have written an initiator application...

Here are my settings file:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# default settings for sessions
[DEFAULT]
#Defines if session will act as an acceptor or an initiator
ConnectionType=initiator

FileLogPath=C:/_bTradelink/configs/logs

# session definition Stream
[SESSION]
BeginString=FIX.4.4
TargetCompID=ServerStream
SenderCompID=ClientStream
StartTime=00:00:00
EndTime=23:30:00
HeartBtInt=20
SocketConnectPort=355
SocketConnectHost=localhost
DataDictionary=C:/_bTradelink/configs/FIX44.xml
FileStorePath=C:/_bTradelink/configs/msgs

# session definition Trade
[SESSION]
BeginString=FIX.4.4
SocketAcceptPort=356
SenderCompID=ClientTrade
TargetCompID=ServerTrade
StartTime=00:00:00
EndTime=23:30:00
HeartBtInt=20
SocketConnectPort=356
SocketConnectHost=localhost
DataDictionary=C:/_bTradelink/configs/FIX44.xml
FileStorePath=C:/_bTradelink/configs/msgs

I don't want my application to look for tag 553 and just let the session
going...

Please let me know in case i need to provide more information. Please guide
me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks for help and cooperation in advance.

Warm Regards,
