The order mass cancel request (q) message requests the cancelation of all of the remaining quantity of a group of orders matching criteria specified within the request. NOTE: This message can only be used to cancel messages (reduce the full quantity).
An order mass cancel request (q) is assigned a ClOrdID (11) and is treated as a separate entity. The order mass cancel request (q) is acknowledged using an Order Mass Cancel Report (r) . The Order Mass Cancel Report (r) will contain the ClOrdID (11) that was specified on the Order Mass Cancel Request (q) . The ClOrdID (11) assigned to the cancel request must be unique amongst the ClOrdID (11) assigned to regular orders, replacement orders, cancel requests, and order mass cancel requests.
An immediate response to this message is required. It is recommended that an ExecutionRpt (8) with ExecType (150) =Pending Cancel be sent unless the Order Mass Cancel Request (q) can be immediately accepted ( ExecutionRpt (8) with ExecType (150) =Canceled) or rejected ( Order Cancel Reject (9) message).
