To your first question (assuming I'm understanding it correctly), you can put whatever you like in the AllocAccount field - as long as the person you're sending to message to can interpret the values you send. Secondly, the Allocation Instruction message contains a repeating group of executions. This is optional, but does mean you can use the message to book and allocate individual executions from one or many different orders if you wish. As long as the total quantity of those executions equals the 53=Quantity then you're fine. Your final question - is that with regard to multi-leg instruments (e.g. futures calendar spreads)? > > What if you're looking to input actual individual account numbers to > > reference on the allocation message?
