Each FX SWAP consists of 2 legs (the near leg & far leg). Each leg has its own 
quantity and price. 

May I know what's the market practice to put the value in these tags for FX 
SWAP? Each tag only can store 1 value which can be either near leg or far leg's 
value. Is it common to have extra extra tags to store these 2 leg's 
information? 

E.g. we have a SWAP of 1M and 5M. Forward swap point for 1M is 3pips, Forward 
swap point for 5M is 7pips. 

Then this 2 legs (1M & 5M) each has its own All-in rate. If the SWAP is 
uneven,then the quantity can be different as well. 


tag 44 (Price) :        All-in rate
tag 31 (LastPx) :       All-in rate
tag 6 (AvgPx):          All-in rate (same as tag 31)

tag 38 (OrderQty) :     Refer to near leg ? 
tag 151 (LeavesQty)
tag 14 (CumQty)
