IB - Futures order handling, loss of FIFO priority

Discussion in 'Interactive Brokers' started by atrocious, Feb 10, 2011.

  1. Don't count on them to fix this. They may say the are but most likely will just drag this out. Traders using them for futures need to stay on top of this, keep hounding them and posting here.

    CME Matching Algorithms

    https://www.cmegroup.com/globex/int...nctionality/elements/matching-algorithms.html

    http://www.cmegroup.com/globex/introduction/

    Customers can determine the matching algorithm assigned to each product from FIX tag 1142-Match Algorithm, in the FIX/FAST Security Definition (tag 35=d) market data message.

    The matching engine applicable to CME products can also be found for each product on the CME website.

    The issue here relates to loss of time priority for FIFO markets where the modification of FIX tag #77 causes the order to be resubmitted at the back of the queue.
