The Quote Cancel (Z) message is used by an originator of quotes to cancel his quotes and related orders. The Quote Cancel message supports cancelation of:
  • All quotes
  • Quotes for a specific symbol
  • All quotes for a security kind (like futures, options)
  • By QuoteSetID
  • By base Currency of the instruments
  • By Delta range
The canceling is accomplished by indicating the type of cancelation in the QuoteCancelType (298) field and optional additional parameters. The message is equivalent of the private/cancel_quotes and shares the same semantic, so it is quite different from the other exchanges. The same as the Websockets “alter-ego” it is acknowledged only via list (possibly empty) of cancelled orders, namely as the Order Mass Cancel Report (r) with ClOrdID equal to the QuoteMsgID of the request, with the affected order ID’s and subsequent Execution Report (8)-s for each individual cancelled order if there are any.
