{{Quickfixn}} Tag 167=MLEG rejected on MultiLeg order at Interactive Brokers

[Francis Gingras]

The IB FIX manual does have a 35=AB message example on page 42 and the docs have detailed tag information. You need to make sure your QF xml dictionary file contains all these fields. The 'type' rejection you received could mean many things but the first thing I would look at is whether you are missing any tags in your AB request.

What do you mean "recommends"?  Do they accept different FIX versions?  That's very weird.

Do they not have documentation?

I tried Googling and I found this page... where if you click the "CTFI FIX" tab you get a broken link.  Nice.

Grant – Thanks for the links.  What you’re saying makes sense.  IB recommends 4.2 but that doesn’t
include the MultiLeg defs…but when I use 4.3, I get these 58=”Unsupported type” errors….no idea
what “type” tag it’s referring to….anyhow…I’ll plow on and maybe be able to help the next guy that
comes along…
 
Someone else suggested I just get them
to send me a log with a message that worked to emulate….biggest problem is just getting these guys to
respond to emails…. 
 
 
 
Thanks,
Jeff
