Improvements

ADL

In an effort to ensure equitable distribution of system resources on general population (gen-pop) Algo Servers, TT will be enabling resource limits. Specifically, on October 20, TT will begin limiting the number of ADL algos that a user can run on general population Algo Servers as follows.

Aurora: 400
Hong Kong: 100
All other co-location facilities: 200

To be clear, this limit will not apply to Algo Servers deployed on TT Reserved instances. In addition, TT order types will not count towards this limit. Attempts to launch algos that breach these limits will be rejected.

If you have any questions or are interested in a dedicated Algo Server deployed on a TT Reserved instance, please contact your TT Customer Success representative.

10/18/2019

Improvements

ADL

To ensure equitable distribution of common system resources on non-dedicated Algo Servers, limits on the maximum number of ADL algos that can be run in each data center have been instituted as follows:

Aurora: 400
Hong Kong: 100
All other co-location facilities: 200

10/04/2019

Improvements

FIX Services

Added support for (5) vendor-defined fields to the FIX XML schema, which are reserved for future use by 3rd-party algo / FIX Out execution destinations.

Tags added:
17001: Vendor-defined Field 1
17002: Vendor-defined Field 2
17003: Vendor-defined Field 3
17004: Vendor-defined Field 4
17005: Vendor-defined Field 5
Description: Vendor-defined fields 1-5 for 3rd-party algo / FIX Out connection types. Not supported when routing to/from native TT order connections.
Type: String
Required: No
Used in message type: Execution Report, Cancel/Reject

These values are not over-rideable when submitting orders via FIX and can only be set by defining values in order tag defaults for the FIX Out connection type in TTUS.

These tags will not be supported for any TT native order connections and will also not be copied onto compliance drop copy messages.

Version: v73

10/02/2019

Improvements

Order Entry

The global Preferences > Orders tab now provides a checkbox named "Populate TextTT with algo template name". When set to ON, this preference automatically seeds the TextTT field with the name of the template when a template is used to place a TT Order Type or other algo,

This behavior sometimes causes issues with users who have pre-seeded the TextTT field with a value from an order profile. To avoid overwriting TextTT values intended to be set by order tag defaults set in TT User Setup by an administrator, users should uncheck this preference to preserve the admin defined value.

10/02/2019

Improvements

TT Algos

Added a new OMA algo named 'MinVol'. This algo allows users to specify a minimum quantity required at a price level to work the exchange order.
