I am only aware of the FIX Confirmation message with which you can confirm a trade and assign multiple order capacities (each with a different quantity). Have a look at <CpctyConfGrp> with fields 528 and 863. I am not familiar with your regulatory requirements in terms of keeping capacities separated and stating the capacity in which you have traded an order. If you have an order/quote with mixed capacities, who gets allocated first in case of an execution and how much? There is many ways to do this and it is not easy to make transparent. I would say that your quote cannot carry an OrderCapacity and that you need to split up trades afterwards as described above. > > Mixed Capacity means a broker handles the order but in different > capacities (e.g. as agent, riskless principal and/or principal) combines > these orders and represent them in a single quote in the market > > > > I googled "Mixed Capacity" as it looked like a standard term in your > > question but could not find anything suitable.
