Where to find the associated tag numbers for the quickfix variables?


I have the documentation for all fields in quickfix http://www.quickfixengine.org/quickfix/doc/html/configuration.html.

However, there is no indication of what integer tags each field corresponds to. I have an idea of a few fields from examples I have found, such as

import quickfix as fix
order = fix.Message()

quantity = 100
order.setField(38, quantity)

Can anyone point me to some documentation on this?


Solution

  • The FIX protocol standard website, particularly FIXimate, has all that you need to identify tag numbers and message layouts. There are also some example ROEs and other help and FIX standards information available there.
