New FIX Tag for Routed Executions and Update to HandInst (FIX Tag 21)

IEX Trading Alert #2018 - 015

Overview

Beginning Monday, May 14, 2018, IEX will populate FeeCode (FIX tag 9882) with the specific fee code associated with an execution on a non-IEX market. FeeCode will be a passed through value from Market Centers if LastMkt (FIX tag 30) is not IEX, therefore this update only affects Users that utilize the IEX Router. Please see Appendix F of the IEX FIX Specification for the tag mapping IEX performs if LastMkt is a non-IEX market.

On Monday, May 14, IEX will no longer require HandInst (FIX tag 21) from Users; when populated, values will be ignored by the Exchange. This deployment will be iterative, so sessions will be affected beginning Monday, April 30.
