Improved the TTW/TTD client application performance of downloading and managing account data and account updates from TT User Setup. Included is an improvement to the filtering of accounts and users when creating a manual fill in the Positions Manager widget.

Improvements

Autospreader Rules

New shared Autospreader Rules: (TT) Minimum Increment Quote and (TT) Minimum Increment Hedge. When these rules are applied to a spread config, Autospreader will round the quote/hedge order quantity down to the nearest multiple of the user-defined 'minIncrement' value. This rules are needed on contracts that have a round lot value to guarantee Autospreader submits valid quantities.

07/27/2018

Fixes

Orders

Fixed an issue where traders on the ICE market, who shared an account but not a routing trader ID, were unable to amend each other's orders. This was due to the Order Connector updating the Originating Trader ID. This ID is no longer updated on cancel/replace orders (Authorized Trader and Routing Trader IDs are still correctly updated).

The user should be able to check one, many or all of the order types in the options for applicability of "Cancel on Disconnect".
