March 2020 - Production Environment

New features are production released in a phased rollout to our globally distributed system. Therefore, a feature may be listed here which has not yet reached your workspace(s). However all of these features are available at uat.trade.tt.

Date	Type	Component	Release Note
03/31/2020	Improvements	Exchanges	TT now supports trading of futures and options on the Borsa Istanbul Stock Exchange (BIST). Customers who wish to trade will need to contact the exchange to obtain order connectivity.
03/28/2020	Fixes	FIX Services	Fixed an issue where a very large resend request immediately after FIX Session login could cause real-time fills to be missed. Version: v86
03/28/2020	Improvements	FIX Services	Migrating FIX Services in v86 to use Product Manager Single-tier library for internal instrument downloads from PDS; replaces Product Manager server. Version: v86
03/28/2020	Fixes	FIX Services	Fixed an issue where the TT FIX server could fail to close half-open FIX TCP connections within a reasonable time out. Version: v86
03/27/2020	Improvements	Market Grid	Market Grid now has optional columns "UndBuys" and "UndSells" to display undisclosed quantities of working buy and sell orders.
03/27/2020	Improvements	TT Rest API	We will be making a breaking change such that all /pds endpoints will require two new mandatory parameters: a token in the header and a requestId passed as a query string. These parameters are already mandatory for all other endpoints and discussed in detail here. Their inclusion will help in making the API more robust as well as assist us in pinpointing issues that occur. We are targeting to deploy these changes to our User Acceptance Testing (UAT) environment on June 19 and to production on June 26. Customers are advised to update and test their applications prior to the production release dates. TT will be releasing updated versions of the TT REST API sample applications by June 19.
03/27/2020	Improvements	Performance	The Orders and Fills widget (OFW) now ignores the orders pane setting "Include orders from previous sessions" if it is checked on, and will only show current session fills for "watched" orders. This change greatly improves OFW performance by keeping current session fills in memory, and also mimics the behavior of the legacy OFW in 7.x X_TRADER.
03/27/2020	Improvements	General	Starting March 30, 2020 the following exchanges' send/recv logs will be included: eSpeed DGCX Fenics FEX JSE Companies which own connections for these exchanges will receive the send/recv logs on the EFT after trading sessions. Learn More

03/27/2020	Improvements	Performance	The TT v10 release significantly improves both the TT browser and TT Desktop application memory utilization and internal performance of handling very large numbers of orders, fills and price updates under heavy loads.
03/27/2020	Improvements	Order Entry	To provide quicker access to algo templates during order entry, the Order Ticket algo template selector drop down control can now be set to always display on the ticket by enabling it via the right click "Show/Hide" menu. When checked on to "show", the template drop down control will appear on the main set of controls directly below the order type drop down control.
03/27/2020	Improvements	Fills	The Fills widget (and the middle fills pane in the Orders and Fills widget) now provides a "Price with Detail" display mode. This view aggregates fills and displays summarized quantity totals at each price level grouped by contract.
03/27/2020	Improvements	Fills	The Fills widget now provides a right click menu option to create a manual fill which launches the Position Manager widget. When Admin select this menu item the Position Manger will automatically be set to create an Admin fill.

03/27/2020	Improvements	Order Book	The Order Book and Orders and Fills Widget (OFW) now highlight the ExeQty value in yellow for partially filled orders.
03/27/2020	Improvements	Settings	A new setting is now available for Order Book and Fills widgets that will highlight order and fill rows when a new order or fill occurs. The highlight color will display for the designated number of seconds. Setting the value to zero (0) seconds will retain the highlight color until you select the right click menu "Mark all as seen".
03/27/2020	Improvements	Settings	Customizable color settings have been added to the Order Book and Fills widgets. Note that Buy text and Sell text are set separately from the individual background colors for the various states of the order and fill rows.

03/27/2020	Improvements	Settings	The global Orders preference "Seed with market quantity" checkbox now defaults to OFF for new users.

03/27/2020	Improvements	Algo Dashboard	Algo Dashboard can now be grouped with and filter the views of other widgets such as Order Book, Fills widget and Audit Trail.
03/27/2020	Improvements	RTD	RTD now supports two new "endpoints" named "OrderStats" and "FillStats". - "OrderStats" supports the following fields: BuyCnt, SellCnt, NetCnt, BuyWrk, SellWrk, NetWrk, BuyPos, SellPos, NetPos - "FillStats" supports the following fields: BuyFillCnt, SellFillCnt, NetFillCnt, BuyPos, SellPos, NetPos To use these, first create an Order Set (or Fill Set) with whatever filters you'd like, e.g., Account, TextTT, etc. like this: =RTD("tt.rtd",,"OS","TextTT=my_text") Then refer to that order or fill set ID, like this: =RTD("tt.rtd",,"OrderStats", <OS_ID>, "BuyCnt") where <OS_ID> is the reference to the Order Set you created. See the documentation for more information.
03/27/2020	Improvements	Fills	The Order Book and Fills widget now both have an optional checkbox setting to apply (or not apply) italics font styling to fills.
03/27/2020	Improvements	Settings	We have added a new global Sounds preference to treat full fills on child orders as partial fills on the parent order. With this new "Consider child order full fill as partial fill" setting enabled, a partial fill sound will play when a child order of a parent order fully fills, instead of the previous behavior of playing the full fill sound when a child order fully filled (assuming both full and partial sounds are enabled). If only full fill sounds are enabled, and partial sounds are turned off, then fills on child orders will not play ... only the full sound will play when the parent is fully filled.
03/27/2020	Improvements	Positions	The Positions widget now saves and restores filters and expand/collapse state of rows when switching between tabs.
03/27/2020	Improvements	Orders	We have renamed ExchAcct to be "ClearingAcct" in all TTW/TTD widgets, edit boxes, tooltips, hint text, etc. to make the front end consistent with the "Clearing Account" field in TTUS setup screens. We have also added a new "AltExchAcct" field as a column in Order Profiles, Order Book, Fills widget and Audit Trail. This field initially maps to the "Exchange Account" field in TTUS setup screens (tag 440) for the ICE and ICE_L exchanges. Note that now with this field added to the Order Profiles widget, local values can be defined in the front end for this field for ICE and ICE_L.
03/27/2020	Improvements	Order Entry	In the Order Ticket, you can now create a custom action button to seed the Manual Fill order type. This helps to quickly fill a parent care order with a manual fill.

03/27/2020	Improvements	Market Grid	In Market Grid, you can now expand/collapse all market depth rows at once (instead of one by one) by left clicking on the upper left cell of the grid to select all rows, and then click once on the plus/minus to apply that state to all rows in the grid.

03/27/2020	Improvements	Market Data	Orders placed on hold no longer display their quantity in Market Grid columns for working orders.
03/27/2020	Improvements	Order Entry	When working a parent care order, the Order Ticket now hides the "Flip for Buy/Sell" functionality to ensure that child orders can only be submitted in the intended buy/sell direction.
