Hi Vinay,

Yes, you should use tag65 (Symbol Sfx) to describe the series. Some FIX vendors prefer tag65 as a mandatory along with new order if the Buy side is sending tag 22=8 (Exchange Symbol).

For example you could describe the sereies as below.

For National Stock Exchange equity tag65=EQ (default)
For Bombay Stock Exchange equity tag65=hA,B,S,T,TS or Zh This is group wise.

Regards,
