When you submit an order, I can get the sequence number and use that to track that even, but there’s also a a text and customTag50 fields in some requests. What are those fields used for?

{
"accountSpec": "string",
"accountId": 0,
"clOrdId": "string",
"action": "Buy",
"symbol": "string",
"orderQty": 0,
"orderType": "Limit",
"price": 0,
"stopPrice": 0,
"maxShow": 0,
"pegDifference": 0,
"timeInForce": "Day",
"expireTime": "2019-08-24T14:15:22Z",
"text": "string",
"activationTime": "2019-08-24T14:15:22Z",
"customTag50": "string",
"isAutomated": true
}

@Alexander could you please kindly respond to this yearlong question? I am in the same boat wanting to make use of this custom tag. I want to be able to label each order with some custom identifiers. Thanks!

customTag50 is a tag used to identify your business to the exchange. It’s in the upstream spec. Really wish Tradovate had some decent documentation to explain these things instead of wasting days of developer time figuring it out.
