Logout

The Logout message initiates or confirms the termination of a FIX session. Disconnection without the exchange of logout messages will be interpreted as an abnormal condition. Before actually closing the session, the logout initiator must wait for the opposite side to respond with a confirming logout message. Abnormal disconnection without logout will activate cancel-on-disconnect on the session.
