Hi, I'm trying to send my first single order, but I don't know if the information about is correct.

I'm trying to buy a Swiss Franc (Symbol 6SU1).

I put the CFI Code as FXXXXS. Is it correct?

I put the MaturityMonthYear as 201109w1.

When I try to send these order, I receive the following FIX message:

Hello,

Format like "201109w1" should be used for weekly equity options only. For 6SU1 you need to specify just 201109

Thanks Vitor.

I tried it but the error persists.

OrderQty [38] = 1
OrdStatus [39R] = REJECTED
Side [54R] = BUY [1]
Symbol [55] = 6SU1
Text [58] = Unknown contract
TransactTime [60] = 20110804-17:34:01
OrdRejReason [103] = UNKNOWNSYM [1]
ExecType [150R] = REJECTED
LeavesQty [151R] = 1
MaturityMonthYear [200] = 201109
CFICode [461] = FXXXXS


In these case the CFICode is FXXXXS?

CFICode is correct, but symbol should be 6S
