FIX Drop Copy
Drop Copy flow for receiving real-time copies of all execution reports for trade monitoring and reconciliation.
Drop Copy provides a separate connection that mirrors execution reports from the Order Management flow, enabling:
- Trade Monitoring: Real-time visibility into all order activity and fills
- Reconciliation: Independent feed for back-office systems to verify trades
- Audit Trail: Complete record of all execution events
This flow receives:
- Execution Reports (35=8): All order status changes, fills, and confirmations
- Cancel Rejects (35=9): Notifications when cancel requests are rejected
Important Notes
- Drop Copy is read-only — you cannot send orders or cancellations on this connection
- Use Drop Copy alongside Order Management for complete trade visibility
