02/25/2019

Improvements

FIX Services

Tag 57, TargetSubID, is an optional tag that may be included by FIX Clients in the Logon (35=A) message header.

Beginning with this FIX release, if and only if the Logon message coming from the FIX client to TT contains tag 57, the client admin *must* configure the tag 57 value in the Target Sub ID field for that specific FIX Session configuration dialog in setup.

if the Logon message coming from the FIX client to TT does *not* contain tag 57, no action is required.

This change is applicable to all TT FIX Session Types in Setup.

02/22/2019

- Ability for the broker to force unclaim Care Orders
- Application of MIFID Tags to Care Orders.

02/22/2019

Improvements

Orders

You can now quickly reduce the total quantity of multiple orders working at the same price level in MD Trader by right-clicking on the working quantity cell and entering the new desired total quantity at that price. TT will delete the newest orders (to maintain the best position-in-queue) until the total quantity of the remaining orders matches your desired lower total quantity.

02/20/2019

Improvements

Order Book

Fixed an issue where the working quantity field in the Order Book (and Order and Fills widget) was not always updating correctly. Note that as part of change, the working quantity field will display only the quantity of orders that are actually in the market, e.g., a 10 lot native Iceberg order that discloses 1 at a time will display 1 in the working quantity field, and a non-triggered native Stop order will show the working quantity as zero (blank). This behavior is consistent with the values displayed in the MD Trader working order cells and also matches how TT Order Types display. The order quantity field will display the full quantity of the order.

02/20/2019

Improvements

MD Trader

MD Trader now displays the buy/sell quantities of timed orders set to start in the future. Timed orders that have a defined price are displayed in the working orders column, with the order quantity in the "U" field (undisclosed). Timed orders that do not have a current price, such as timed market orders, or relative priced orders, e.g., based on the Bid price later in the session, are displayed as call outs on the 'Work' column header, in blue and red backgrounds respectively.

02/19/2019

Improvements

Spread Matrix

Spread Matrix default font size is now slightly larger and the default colors are now a closer match to the 7.x legacy colors. As part of this change, you can now increase/decrease the Spread Matrix font size by holding down Ctrl+Shift and left mouse drag up/down, similar to how MD Trader behaves.

02/19/2019

Improvements

Setup App

TT added support for Risk Groups, which will allow brokers to manage risk for a customer who may execute through multiple routing accounts across more than one carry broker. Decoupled from traditional TT account hierarchy, this feature allows for more robust monitoring of customer risk and exposure across multiple brokers and accounts. Full support for this feature will be rolled out shortly.

02/15/2019

Improvements

As part of this feature, TT has added the "Organization" field that can be used by administrators to group users. This field will be required for all new new users.

02/11/2019

Improvements

Algos

For algo templates, to more clearly indicate that the "<Default>" template is not actually a template but instead means use the parameters that were set at design time of the algo, we have renamed this item in the Template dropdown list to be "<none>".

02/08/2019
