January 2021 - 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
01/29/2021	Improvements	Exchanges	TT now supports BrokerTec Active and When Issued US Treasuries on CME. This is only available via iLink3 Market Segment Gateway Connections, and a dedicated iLink session ID is required. Treasury spreads will be available in the near future in order to support the RV Curve launch in March 2021. Please contact your Onboarding Manager for more details to trade these products.
01/29/2021	Improvements	Setup App	In order to streamline workload for administrators, TT now supports 'Bulk Copy' capability in the Setup App for Order Tag Defaults. Administrators can select a profile, account or user and bulk copy all the associated Order Tag Defaults to one or more profiles, accounts or users. Resources of the same type can be copied. For example, order tag defaults associated with users cannot be copied to accounts.
01/29/2021	Improvements	Setup App	Setup administrators can now view all the accounts associated with a Risk Group from within the Risk Group tab.
01/29/2021	Improvements	Setup App	Setup administrators can now use a new feature, "Lock Sub Account" to lock the value of an exchange order tag default not only for exact matches, but also for more specific matches on child accounts. For example, locking a value that applies to all exchanges, would mean that a value configured for just the CME exchange would be ignored. Brokers that share accounts to clients, and use the “Apply to Sub Accounts” option should check the new lock option as well, unless variations are allowed.
01/29/2021	Fixes	Market Data	The 'day' in the Maturity Date field for Weekly Options on CME was incorrectly being populated with the week number instead of the correct date. This has been fixed in UAT, and will be fixed in Production on 1/29/21.
01/22/2021	Improvements	Exchanges	As of Jan 25, LME will not allow Icebergs (but will not reject them) on some products.

01/22/2021	Improvements	Exchanges	Renaming EEX Spot products, to avoid confusion when selecting these products. These will be named as follows: EEX EUA Spot / Alias: EUA Dec21 / Maturity: 12/16/2021 - as "EUA Spot Phase 3" EEX EUA Spot / Alias: EUA Spot / Maturity: 12/14/2029 - as "EUA Spot Phase 4" EEX EUAA Spot / Alias: EUAA Dec21 / Maturity: 12/16/2021 - as "EUAA Spot Phase 3" EEX EUAA Spot / Alias: EUAA Spot / Maturity: 12/14/2029 - as "EUAA Spot Phase 4" Inter-product Spread contracts for EUAA\|EUA and EUA\|EUA will also have associated legs renamed. Example: EUAA SPOT- EUA Spot Inter Product- [expDate 2021] - as "EUAA Spot Ph3 – EUA Spot Ph3 Inter Product" Example: EUA Spot-EUA Jan21 Inter-Product - [expDate 2021] - as "EUA Spot Ph3-EUA Jan21 Inter-Product"
01/22/2021	Improvements	TT .NET SDK	Exposed the TVTIC from Fill Object. (v3.0.0.36)

01/22/2021	Improvements	Setup App	As of March 1 2021, all users subscribing to OSE and MEFF market data are required to sign market data agreements before being able to view market data for these markets. These agreements can be signed from the User- >Agreements tab in the Setup application. The Trade application will also prompt for a market data agreement if it is not already signed. Customers wishing to sign this agreement before the Mar 1 deadline can do so from within Setup (User- >Agreements)
01/22/2021	Improvements	Setup App	Setup administrators can now allow users to override exchange-specific user or account fields prior to submitting an order by checking "Client Can Override" checkbox in the Order tag Defaults tab. This setting is also available in User->Exchanges and Account->Exchanges screens. If the "Client Can Override" checkbox is unchecked, values configured in Setup will be sent to the exchange

01/15/2021	Improvements	Algos	Order Tag Defaults can now be observed by synthetic parent orders. Previously these were only applied to the subsequent child orders.
01/15/2021	Improvements	ADL	Resolved issue where ADL export values were only visible to the user who launched the algo. Users who share an order book will now have visibility of algo export values.
01/15/2021	Fixes	Algos	A toast message will now be displayed for Time Duration orders if the pre-condition time settings conflict with the time settings of the time duration order. The user will be prompted to amend the pre-condition times.

01/07/2021	Improvements	Time & Sales	Improved the performance of Time and Sales when initiating subscriptions for large numbers of instruments.
01/07/2021	Improvements	Fills	As part of our OMS efforts we have added a new "Allocation" widget. This widget is applicable to partially filled or fully filled care orders that are in "locked" state, meaning the fills have yet to be released. We currently support two allocation methods: “Avg Price” and “Fill Prices”. We plan to support allocation to multiple accounts in the future.
01/07/2021	Improvements	Order Entry	We no longer display the "order routing is unavailable" error message on a staged order, with or w/out a connection. Even if the connection is down, the execution trader may decide to fill the order with a manual fill.
01/07/2021	Improvements	Settings	You can now optionally display a separator within large numeric values, e.g., thousands, millions, etc. This new global preference can be set as either a comma or a period, and does not apply to price values.
01/07/2021	Improvements	Order Entry	When submitting an order from TTW or TT Desktop, the appropriate value for the "position_effect" flag is now only sent as part of the order if the Open/Close button is available in the order entry widget for that market. Previously the flag was always sent and defaulted to "open" if the button was unavailable.
01/07/2021	Fixes	Time & Sales	Fixed an issue that sometimes caused Time & Sales to miss updates on strategy instruments that have been 'revived' at the exchange.
01/07/2021	Fixes	Strategy Creation	Fixed an issue that sometimes seeded incorrect future quantity calculation for Euronext Vola Strategies.
01/07/2021	Improvements	MD Trader	You can now optionally use the Profile selection to filter the working orders displayed on the MD Trader ladder. When filtering by profile, selecting a profile will filter orders on the price ladder, and position values will filter by account regardless of the profile selection. This new setting only applies to profiles defined in TT User Setup and is not applicable to local profiles set up in the front end either manually or uploaded via a .csv file. The setting is disabled when the Profile drop down control is not exposed in the Preferences > Orders page.
01/07/2021	Fixes	Order Entry	Fixed an issue that sometimes caused Order Ticket to seed an incorrect price from a click in Market Grid.
01/07/2021	Improvements	Order Book	The global Preferences > Orders page now includes a new "Order Book modification qty seeding" preference with two options: "Original Qty" and "Working Qty". Default = Original Qty, which corresponds to existing behavior. If "Working Qty" is selected, and you have an order to buy 30 and get partially filled on 12, when you select the order in the order book, the remaining working qty (18) will seed into the upper order modification pane, instead of the original qty of 30.
01/07/2021	Improvements	Settings	You can now designate individual accounts as "favorites" by left clicking a yellow star icon in the right side of the account dropdown list and/or in the Account List widget. Accounts marked as favorites are sorted to top in the dropdown list on order entry widgets and in the Account List widget.
01/07/2021	Improvements	Order Entry	You can now work care orders with MD Trader. Clicking the B/S button in the Order Book on a parent care order will now launch either an Order Ticket or an MD Trader based on the users preference setting for floating order entry style.
01/07/2021	Improvements	Order Entry	Order uploads via .csv files now supports "ChildOrderType" for TT Stop, TT Time Sliced, TT Time Duration and TT Volume Duration. Valid values are "Limit", "Market" and 'MLM". Note: "StopOrderType" should be used for TT Bracket and TT OCO.
01/07/2021	Improvements	Settings	We have significantly improved the TTW/TT Desktop user login startup process for downloading very large amounts of Order Tag Default records (OTDs) from TT User Setup. For a user with less than 10,000 OTDs there is no change to current behavior. However, users with more than 10k OTDs will only load the first 10k records at startup. The remaining records will be downloaded on an as-needed basis.
01/07/2021	Improvements	Settings	You can now create alerts in the Alert Manager using Originator and CurrentUser as part of the alert definition.
01/07/2021	Improvements	Settings	You can now designate individual Order Profiles as "favorites" by left clicking a yellow star icon in the right side of the Order Profile dropdown list and/or in the Order Profile widget. Profiles marked as favorites are sorted to top in the dropdown list on order entry widgets and in the Order Profile widget.
01/07/2021	Improvements	Order Entry	The Order Ticket SLED dropdown now only displays prefix options of "&" and "%".
01/07/2021	Improvements	Order Entry	When creating a child order of a parent staged order the Order Ticket now honors the Clearing Account "Client Can Override" setting in TTUS. The clearing account field in the Order ticket will display a preview of the value based on the TTUS value. If the "can override" setting is enabled in TTUS, the Order Ticket will allow the user to enter a new value if desired. If the setting is not enabled, the clearing account field will be disabled.
01/07/2021	Improvements	Blocktrader	You can now save Blocktrader widget settings as defaults.
01/07/2021	Improvements	Settings	You can now have as many order profile widgets as you would like in as many windows as you would like. Each order profile will update every window, and a change to one will be reflected in a change to the rest.
