Hi all,

Sorry, if this is not the appropiate thread (but didn´t find the correct one) The question is about "how to extend FIX N.n protocol?" I have an example:

Imagine I have a "RequestInfo" service (with fileds) and there is not a FIX message to fit this services...and then I see, at least, 3 options:
- Use an existing (which fit better) FIX message using their fields (only having in mind the field type)
- Use an existing (which fit better) FIX messages BUT extending/creating new fields
- Build a new message

Which is the best way of extending in terms of following "best practices"

All the ideas, around this is appreciate. Or even books, url´s, webs, recomendation

Thanks in advance
