  • 3 Unsupported message type and 5 Conditionally required field missing are the most common.
  • 4 Application not available means the FIX gateway is up but the system behind it is not.

Changes between FIX versions

  • Added in FIX 4.2 with codes 0 to 5. FIX 4.3 adds 6 (Not authorized) and 7, and FIX 5.0 SP2 adds throttle codes 8 to 10.
