Prior FIX versions did have standard fields of MaxFloor(111) and MaxShow (210, 
introduced in FIX 4.1) which are used for reserve orders. MaxFloor is used if 
there is one level of reserve, MaxShow is the second level of reserve if there 
is one.) 

MaxFloor = 0 could be used for a dark/hidden order in older FIX versions; 
there's no need to use user-defined fields.
