Date Type Component Release Note

04/30/2019

Improvements

Autospreader now supports the "TT Timed" order type.

04/30/2019

Improvements

Order Entry

You can now configure the Order Ticket with custom action buttons to quickly select order types, algos, time-in-force selections, etc, similar to how they can be added to MD Trader.

04/29/2019

Improvements

Settings

You can now configure sounds to play when TTW or TT Desktop detects that it has disconnected and/or reconnected its connection.

04/29/2019

Improvements

General

MD Trader now lets you configure custom action buttons for OMA algos without templates. Additional enhancements to OMA algos include now including them in the order type drop list, and displaying working OMA orders on MD Trader.

04/25/2019

Improvements

MD Trader

You can now middle click anywhere in MD Trader, (excluding buttons and input fields) to recenter the price ladder.

04/25/2019

Improvements

MD Trader

You can put MD Trader into "keyboard trading mode" with a new option on the MD Trader settings page. When in this mode, a pair of green and yellow boxes appear in the bid and ask cells. Hotkeys must also be enabled to utilize this mode. With focus on and enabled MD Trader, you can then press hotkeys to execute commands such as buy at the buy side marker, sell at the sell side marker, move the markers up or down, sweep up or down to a marker, delete orders at the markers, etc. Mouse click actions to place and cancel orders are still honored and executed while in this mode. However, when in this mode, if you hold down the Ctrl key, left clicks on bid/ask cells away from the markers do not submit orders, but instead move the buy/sell marker to that price level. An order is submitted at that price level by pressing the assigned key for buy or sell, or by clicking again in the same cell. See the documentation for the full set of keyboard functions, or in the app go to Preferences > Hotkeys > MD Trader.

04/25/2019

Improvements

General

The workspace login process now displays granular initialization steps to help identify and troubleshoot issues or sticking points encountered when launching a workspace.

04/25/2019

Improvements

Order Entry

We have added two new checkbox settings to the global Preferences "Orders" page which are both off by default. The first is named "Reset to default upon submit". When enabled, upon entering an order, the currently selected order profile will reset to the "<Default>" profile, and order entry parameters such as order quantity, order type, time-in-force, etc. will reset to their default values. The secondary dependent checkbox is named "Retain order profile". Enabling this additional setting will keep the currently selected profile upon order submission and reset to the parameters defined for that profile.

04/25/2019

Improvements

Exchanges

The TT platform now allows for the sending of RFQs across all exchanges which are supported on X_TRADER. The full list of exchanges where RFQ capability is supported is specified in the documentation in the Help Library.

04/23/2019

Improvements

General

The Support dialog now includes a link to view your open incidents.

04/23/2019

Improvements

General

The global Preferences > Accounts page now provides ability to control the scope of accounts that you can view and access. Most users will use the default choice to view only the accounts that are assigned to them. However, users with administrator rights can now choose the "accounts visible to me" option to view and access all accounts in the company without the need to assign those accounts to themselves.

04/23/2019

Improvements

Orders

You can now view position-in-queue (PIQ) values for orders that were placed by other users who share an account with you. Previously only the orders placed by you displayed PIQ values.

04/23/2019

Improvements

Performance

We have significantly improved the internal performance of handling orders and fills in the client applications TTW and TT Desktop.

04/19/2019

Fixes

Autospreader

Fixed an issue with Autospreader not handling a terminal state on a child order (replaced with order status of filled) which would result in multiple child order rejects and stale spread orders.

04/19/2019

Improvements

General

Support for ICE LIFFE FIX Send/Recv logs is now enabled.

04/09/2019

Improvements

Spread Matrix

You can now optionally configure Spread Matrix to display an MD Trader embedded in the lower left portion of the widget using the right-click "Show/Hide" menu. The MD Trader will seed with the instrument that you click on for order entry and helps make better use of the otherwise blank space within the matrix.

04/08/2019

Improvements

MD Trader

As part of streamlining the placement of TT Stop and TT If Touched orders from MD Trader, a reduced 'slim' set of parameters is displayed on the order entry panel when these order types are selected. These parameters will NOT display if you left click on a custom action button or press a hotkey assigned to either of these order types AND that button or hotkey is also assigned to a template. In those cases, the slim parameters will not display and the parameters defined in the template will be used for the order. You can optionally display the slim set of parameters by right clicking on the button, or by pressing a different hotkey that is assigned without a template. You can also access the full set of parameters by clicking the "edit" button to display the flyout panel.

04/05/2019

Improvements

RTD

We have made the Excel RTD strings case-insensitive for instrument field and product type. For example, using "ASK', "Ask" or "ask" will work, as will "FUTURE", "Future" or "future".

04/05/2019

Improvements

Excel Linking

We have aliased the download location of the TT Excel Add-in to be behind the trade.tt domain to simplify customer firewall rules. Note: A fresh install of the add-in is required to point to the new domain; existing installs will continue to receive updates as normal, but all new installs will go through the new ttw-excel.trade.tt.

Updated the GET /ordertagdefaults/fields endpoint so that it also returns Memo and Authorized Trader ID fields which are used for ICE.

04/04/2019

In order to improve accuracy of execution, details of Eurex wholesale trades are now displayed in Blocktrader while the trade is pending acceptance. Price, Quantity and TT Account will be displayed in the Report panel of Blocktrader for review before the user approves the pending wholesale trade.
