Score

Score users can now synchronize manually created dual ladders. After the ladder is open select "compare" and then select an instrument for the second ladder. Once it loads there will be a toggle at the left of the instrument selection fields to "sync". If that is selected there will be only one bar above both ladders that can be used to move through the market data of the cluster for both instruments at the same time.

Improvements

Score

Models are now calculated using notional value to determine imbalances. Additionally, there are additional views in the scorecard for CI spoofing models. There is a toggle to view the working quantities by notional value and for collusive spoofing there are additional charts that can be viewed (by trader, by instrument, and my trader instrument pairs). Lastly, there are additional columns in the scorecard that relate to national value by company and trader. These columns can be hidden by right clicking any column header and unselecting "company quantities" and "trader quantities" groupings, or they can be moved by dragging them to the right.

Orders

To support CME compliance audit requirements, the following changes will apply to all non-TT GUI clients:
Market orders will now be rejected when a price or stop price is populated on the new order.
Limit orders will now be rejected when a stop price is populated on the new order.
Stop market orders will be rejected if a price is populated.
Changing of order types will no longer be permitted on a cancel/replace. The order must be canceled and resubmitted with the new order type. TT will not change CME behavior whereby market orders that are not filled are automatically changed to limit orders by the exchange. These changes support both CME audit requirements and normalized TT gateway behavior across the system.

Improvements

Setup App

TT has duplicate fields for DEA (Direct Electronic Access) in user setup for LME, one LME specific, and the second being the MiFID DEA field. Removing the LME specific field will prevent customers from incorrectly populating values that need to be sent to the exchange, and will also match the normalized DEA field used for all other exchanges. TT has copied values from the LME specific DEA field to the MiFID DEA field. Customers are encouraged to validate correct values in the MiFID DEA field. In the coming weeks TT will be removing the LME specific DEA field. For further information on this change, please contact onboarding@trade.tt.

The Position Manager widget now supports keyboard navigation. Specifically: (1) Press the Tab key to move horizontally across the cells in a row.

Improvements

Order Entry

Users have commented that it is too easy to enter an off tick price when typing in the price of a manual fill for care orders. To improve this situation, the Order Ticket now displays a "Price off tick" check box when the Manual Fill order type is selected. You must enable this feature to be able to enter an off tick price, otherwise the price control will validate the price to ensure it is entered as a valid price format.

08/10/2023

Improvements

Orders

The TTW/TT Desktop front end application has added support for a soon to be released new Setup setting named "Unclaim orders owned by others". This will allow firms who want to operate in the staged order "ownership" model where all actions on a staged order are only available to the current claimant of the order (this mode is in force when the 'Manage staged orders without claiming' setting in unchecked) a bit of flexibility to sometimes be able to "unclaim" another users order and then claim it for themselves. Currently this capability is available in the ownership model only by Admins, and with this new feature these firms will not need to elevate their traders to admins just to be able to forcibly unclaim a claimed order.

Order Entry

For additional flexibility when working a staged order, right-clicking the blue buy (B) or red sell (S) button on a parent staged order will now launch an order entry widget of the opposite style defined in global preferences, e.g., if Order Ticket is set as the preferred left click order entry style, a right-click will now launch an MD Trader widget seeded with the staged order details.

Fixes

Orders

Fixed three Notional display issues: (1) The upper control panel in the Order Book/OFW does not populate the Notional value for market orders although the values are present in the order row columns. (2) The saved default Notional setting in Order Book settings is not consistent between OB/OFW. (3) Rounding discrepancy between order row column value and OB/OFW upper control panel.
