05/31/2019

Fixes

Fills

Fixed an issue where Tag 442 (MultiLegReportingType)was being sent as 3 instead of 1. The MultiLegReportingType will remain as 1 until TT fully supports the ICE harmonization effort completion scheduled for January of 2020.

05/31/2019

Improvements

Time & Sales

Time and Sales now supports filtering price and quantity on historical data requests.

05/31/2019

Improvements

FIX Services

Added support for TTCustomerName, tag 18218 in the FIX XML schema file. This tag is reserved for future use and will not appear in any FIX messages at this time.

05/31/2019

Fixes

Orders

Fixed an issue where TT was sending Exec Firm (452=1) twice due to ICE Routing Member ID also being assigned to Exec Firm. Now the ICE
Authorized Member ID| Routing Member ID is available on
Order Origination firm (452=13) | Routing Member ID (452=213)

05/31/2019

Improvements

FIX Services

In order to improve performance after the CME rollout of consolidated iLink fill messages for fill groups that have only one entry, the FillsGrp repeating group will be omitted from the FIX execution report message. The values in Tag 17, ExecID, Tag 31, LastPx and Tag 32, LastQty, will continue to be sent as they are received from the exchange.

This change will be deployed in UAT on May 10 for customer testing. This will be released to Production on May 17.

05/31/2019

Fixes

FIX Services

FIX Market Data clients may receive a MarketDataRequestReject (35=Y) with the message "Session data download not done yet" due to a race condition when a MarketDataRequest (35=V) is sent immediately after Logon but before the session has finished downloading market data permission information from TT Setup. Once the download is complete (within a few seconds), subsequent subscription requests will be accepted.

05/31/2019

Improvements

FIX Services

Added a new enum to tag 452, party_role:
220: "Routing Member ID".

When a parties group entry includes 452=220, tag 448 contains "Routing Member ID (Routing Company)" a/k/a "tag 115 right" for ICE Market only.

05/31/2019

Improvements

FIX Services

Added support for LegSide [624] in 35=AB requests.

FIX 4.4 introduces (2) new values to tag 54 for MLeg orders/changes:
-- B = "As Defined" (for use with multileg instruments)
-- C = "Opposite" (for use with multileg instruments)
The two values above have been added to our tag 54 definition for FIX 4.4 only. If a FIX client submits a FIX 4.2 D/G message with 54=B or C, the message will be rejected.

Also added "[NA]" as a supported value in tag 55, to be used for multleg products when 54=A or 54=B is used for specifiying the multileg instrument.

For AB/AC messages only, when 54=B or 54=C the value present in tag 55 is ignored, and the instrument lookup and side of the order is driven by the tag 600/LegSymbol and tag 624/LegSide values in the LegInstrument group.

05/31/2019

Improvements

FIX Services

Added a new custom tag to enable RFQ subscription to MarketDataRequest (35=V) messgaes.

Please contact TT Onboarding with questions on this process.

05/17/2019

Improvements

05/17/2019

Improvements

* Manage connections

When unchecked, administrators cannot create or edit connections and they cannot check that option for other users. Additionally, administrators with the option unchecked cannot assign accounts to connections.

05/17/2019

Improvements

Setup App

Added the following restrictions to the User->Settings->Admin Permissions:
* Can Add and Edit Account Limits
* Can Modify User Settings and Information

When unchecked, administrators cannot add or modify account limits and the relevant user settings. For example, if "Can Add and Edit Account Limits" is unchecked, then the administrator cannot create or modify account limits, effectively preventing that administrative user from creating or editing any accounts with limits. Additionally, administrators with an option unchecked cannot check that option for other users.

05/17/2019

Improvements

Add GET/POST/DELETE endpoints to allow users to request, add, update, and delete user risk limits.

05/09/2019

Improvements

General

You can now drag-and-drop instruments from Market Explorer into other widgets.

05/09/2019

Improvements

Order Entry

When configuring an Order Management Algo (OMA) in "builder" mode, you can now select an individual order from multiple orders working at the same price cell using the floating order book (FOB) by holding down the Shift key and then right-click on the OMA button on the desired order in the FOB.

05/09/2019

Improvements

Audit Trail

05/07/2019

Improvements

05/07/2019

Improvements

Algos

You can now specify on an algo template for OMA OTA algos, e.g. "OCO 2" whether or not the workflow should auto-launch when all of the orders required by an OMA algo are provided.

05/07/2019

Improvements

Order Entry

The order upload from a .csv file feature now includes an "Column Mapper" utility to help map custom user column headers to the TT column headings.

05/07/2019

Improvements

Settings

A company admin can now upload Order Profile rules from a .csv file and (separately) publish the rules to the users in their company. Published rules are stored locally on each users machine and are loaded upon login. When an admin publishes a new set of rules, all currently connected users are notified and will silently download the new rules behind the scenes. Because these rule lists can be very long, a (non-admin) end user can select specific profiles to be visible so their profile list is more manageable. Separately, admins can force specific rules to be visible for specific users so end users do not need to any setup work at all. A "Column Mapper" utility is provided to help ease the initial setup operation.

05/07/2019

Improvements

Order Book

The Order Book and other widgets now display "tree" lines to help better identify nested child rows with related rows.

05/07/2019

Improvements

Positions

The Positions widget now supports a new "Risk Group" grouping choice, along with an optional column to display the risk group name (if used). When selected, note that Margin and Balance columns are calculated independently of the child accounts.

05/07/2019

Improvements

Positions

The Positions widget now includes a new right-click menu option to show a "summary" row across the top. Note that when using "account" grouping, the summary row will reflect the actual overall position. For example, if parent account A has a NetPos of +500, and it's only child account A.1 has a NetPos of +300, it can be assumed that the parent account A has it's own direct position of +200. The summary row will display +500, not +800 in this case.

05/06/2019

Improvements

Exchanges

TT supports the HKEX OAPI and OMD-D Upgrade. This upgrade includes support for 5 character root symbols and weekly index options, which will be introduced in the future.

05/06/2019

Improvements

Charts

Added the ability to Split All TPAs. Right Click on the distribution to select 'Split All'. When selected it will separate each TPA into columns so you can better view the distributions and breaks. Right Click on the distribution to select 'Remove All Splits' to return all TPAs back to their original position.

05/01/2019

Improvements

Autospreader Rules

Added a new shared Autospreader Rule: (TT) Quote Throttle. This rule is designed to limit the number of re-quotes sent to the exchange. If the re-quote is within the specified number of milliseconds, then the change is suppressed. The rule allows setting different thresholds for aggressive and defensive re-quotes.

05/01/2019

Improvements

General

Users now have the ability to display all legs of a Spread or Strategy, rather than the short alias. For example, a Butterfly can now be displayed in a 1x2x1 format, with each expiry (for Spreads) or strike (for Strategies) displayed alongside the quantity. This setting can be enabled in Global Preferences.

05/01/2019

Improvements

Market Grid

Market Grid now has optional columns to display actionable buttons to Cancel Buy and Cancel Sell orders.
