5 (Logout)

The 5 (Logout) message is used to terminate (or confirm termination) of a FIX session.

The Logout message can be sent by either party to indicate the end of communication.

A logout message is a normal way to end a FIX session, and it allows the parties involved to gracefully disconnect.

note

The 141 ResetSeqNumFlag field in the A (Logon) message is set to Y if a reset of sequence numbers is desired during the next logon.
