The Quote Request (tag 35-MsgType=R) message generates a Request for Quote to solicit a quote on an instrument.

The → symbol indicates a repeating tag.

If a repeating group in this message is not structured correctly, a Business Level Reject (tag 35=j) message will be sent with tag 58=Malformed Message <First Tag description (tag number) > Not First Tag of Repeating Group.
