Date Type Component Release Note

07/31/2018

Improvements

Order Book

Users with Admin rights can now perform "Force Cancel" of stale orders via a right click menu item from the regular Order Book, instead of using Monitor for this action.

Improvements

Exposed the "Open/Close" toggle button for use when submitting orders for the CurveGlobal market, and for the upcoming LSE and IDEM markets.

07/27/2018

07/27/2018

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

Improvements

Orders

TT has passed SGX SR4 conformance and is therefor now making the UAT environment available for customer conformance. Clients should order IDs from SGX as soon as possible in order to participate. Conformance is available through August, and the exchange will go-live in October.

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 This ID is no longer updated on cancel/replace orders (Authorized Trader and Routing Trader IDs are still correctly updated).

07/25/2018

Improvements

MD Trader

The MD Trader working order cell now displays the disclosed quantity value for TT Iceberg orders consistent with the display for native Iceberg orders.

07/25/2018

Improvements

You can now open certain widgets without incurring a market data subscription. For example, you can use a Positions widget and view P/L updates without subscribing to market data. The list of widgets this applies to includes Positions widget, Position Manager, Order Book and Orders and Fills widget (OFW). Note that opening other widgets that do use market data, such as MD Trader or Market Grid, will trigger market data subscriptions for the instruments in those widgets.

07/24/2018

Improvements

Strategy Creation

The Strategy Creation widget can now be used as part of a grouped widget. When grouped with Market Grid, Strategy Creation can be used to display the individual legs of an existing strategy.

07/23/2018

Improvements

FIX Services

FIX Adapter now allows Market Data Requests to be resolved if tag 116 is a managed user or shared user in TT User Setup.

For example, where a single FIX User in Company A, assigned FIX session in Company A, gets some market data permissions (e.g CME, ICE) from Company B and other market data permissions from Company C (e.g. Eurex, ICE), the FIX session is now able to access market data via FIX for all permissioned markets.

07/20/2018

Fixes

Setup App

Fixed an issue where inter-product strategy limits could not be configured correctly.

07/20/2018

Improvements

07/19/2018

Improvements

General

We have made it easier to drag tabs to new positions within a widget without having them unexpectedly "pop out" during the dragging process. You can still "pop out" a tab by right clicking on the tab and selecting "Break-out tab" from the context menu item. Note: On the Orders and Fills widget (OFW) and on custom group widgets (which have tabs exposed on the entire group), once you break out a tab you cannot re-attach the tab to the original group widget.

Improvements

Order Entry

You can now use Order Profiles rules to seed the "DispQty" field for native Iceberg orders in Order Ticket and MD Trader even if the main order quantity is zero.

07/06/2018

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.
