FIX MESSAGE 35=R

QuoteRequest

MsgType (35) = RQuotationNegotiationAdded FIX.4.0

Definition

In some markets it is the practice to request quotes from brokers prior to placement of an order. The quote request message is used for this purpose.

FIX 4.2 group names/IDs were assigned during the official Orchestra translation; some mappings to later versions are approximate. This layout stays within the 4.2 source.

Message structure 63 distinct fields

Source order, including nested components and groups. Group counts precede the repeated entries. “Required here” is relative to the enclosing component or group, not unconditional in the message. A dash means not marked required; conditional requirements remain in the source notes. This is a reference, not a counterparty-specific validator.
