Could you please use FIX compatible field names, i.e. http://www.fixtradingcommunity.org/FIXimate/FIXimate3.0/en/FIX.5.0SP2/tag39.html (for order types) http://www.onixs.biz/fix-dictionary/4.1/tagNum_151.html (an example, use LeavesQty instead of "RemainingQty"). If you do this, you can always answer questions by "Refer to the FIX spec." instead of writing doc. I'm asking this because I'm currently binding BitMEX that uses FIX compatible fields names and I find myself spending a long time figuring out how to map FIX names to DTC names. So it would spare me time if it was the same ;) |

The general answer we have to this, is that while DTC does follow the FIX Protocol in some areas, it does not follow it exactly where it does not make sense. In that regard, we will use names which are more sensible and understandable. This is the strength of DTC. "Remaining" is more understandable than "Leaves" in our opinion. If you do this, you can always answer questions by "Refer to the FIX spec." instead of writing doc. This does not make sense. DTC must be fully and clearly documented without any external reference. |

Ok, both points make sense.
