Post From: DTC Binary Type 101 - TradeAccount Field Alignment

I am using a Python client via DTC Binary (Type 101). I am receiving "Trade Account is empty" rejections.

Message Log: Trade Account is empty | Symbol: MESM26_FUT_CME | TradeAccount: (unset)

I have confirmed my LOGON_REQUEST (Type 1) successfully negotiates Integer_1 = 1 (Trading). In my SUBMIT_NEW_SINGLE_ORDER message, I am sending four 64-byte null-padded strings (Symbol, Exchange, ClientOrderID, TradeAccount) before the numerical fields.

Does the DTC Server require the TradeAccount field in Type 101 to be a VLS field if the Logon used VLS, or does Type 101 strictly use the Fixed-Length Binary structure regardless of Logon encoding?
