[Quickfix-developers] Re: [Quickfix-users] how to send response to a client

[Brian E. <azz...@ya...>]

I have a very similar application and I eventually decided that the
"better" way was to add additional ExecType/OrdStatus values and use
those to differentiate between "my application has received the order"
and "the exchange has received the order".

In my particular case, I use Pending New (OrdStatus='0') to indicate
that my app received and databased the order. I created a new OrdStatus
('x' for at the eXchange) to indicate that the order had been received
by the exchange.

FIX hasn't fully come to terms with third-party order management
systems acting as a bridge between clients and exchanges. Hopefully
they will start looking at that (if they haven't already) as most of
the ISVs out there are now adding some sort of FIX interface to their
order management systems.
