To provide member firms with greater flexibility in managing their customer orders, the NYSE will be introducing a new optional auto-cancel upon disconnect service within our Common Customer Gateway (CCG) SM. At the member firm’s request, a FIX session can be configured to automatically cancel all open day orders if the firm’s FIX session disconnects from CCG by providing two additional FIX Tags in the session Logon message.

Previously, the NYSE introduced a new “Done for Day” Firm subscription service that allowed subscribed Firm mnemonics to receive an unsolicited “UROUT” end of day message for all unexecuted “Day” orders at a designated cutoff time. Expanding upon this initial implementation, the NYSE would like to announce that we are in the process of enhancing this service to immediately return unsolicited “UROUT” messages as each individual symbol is closed and all closing reports have been disseminated for the trading day. This enhancement will allow you to begin to receive the status for all your open orders shortly after the market has closed.
