Udai,

the Trading Book is specified in the Instruments component block normally using one of the following alternatives:
1) The Symbol (55)
2) An ISIN, CUSIP, SEDOL or other code:
- SecurityIDSource (48) = 4; 1; 2...
- SecurityID (22)
3) An exchange-assigned identification number:
- SecurityIDSource (48) = 8
- SecurityID (22)
(The SecurityIDSource = 8 is proposed to be changed to "Marketplace assigned identifier" by the Exchange/ECNs working group)

What identifier is used depends on market convention for the respective security types.

The "purpose" behind the deal is often a regulatory requirement. If that is the case for you, the following fields are normally used:
- TrdType (828)
- TrdSubType (829)
- SecondaryTrdType (855)
- ShortSaleReason (853)
- SideTrdSubType (1008)
- CustOrderCapacity (582)

Please see FIX 5.0 for the latest list of standardized values.
 
Regards

Rikard
