Why not systematically represent buy or sell by using the sign of the quantity field? It seems that there is always the case, when there is a notion of buy or sell, that there is an associated quantity, so the buy_sell field appears useless.

We have never seen it done this way and it is inconsistent with the FIX protocol.
