When an indicative (matched) price is not sent during pre-open and auction states (such as on CME, and on Eurex when the pre-open inside market does not match), the best bid and best ask cells are highlighted with a yellow border.

Trade App on TT (desktop)

TT has released TT Desktop (TTD) to BETA. TTD is a version of the TT trading application that operates without a browser and supports multiple "windows" positioned anywhere on the desktop viewable area. The functional widgets are exactly the same between TTD and TT.

TTD utilizes a lightweight "launcher" application that requires .NET 3.5. Installing the launcher application creates a desktop icon, which when clicked initiates the login, downloads the necessary files and starts TT Desktop. TTD is only supported on Windows machines. For more details on TTD see < insert link >.

(2) For exchanges that do not provide tag 527 in the execution report, 527 will be set to "order_id:order_sequence".
