Score

Model Improvements: Cross trades where two traders from within the same company execute against each other but the first order rests for the requisite 5 seconds or longer will now receive a non-zero score. This allows firms to more easily track intra-company trading. Note that position transfer fills are excluded from the cross trading surveillance. Additional matching logic improvements have been made in the Wash Trader, Wash Account and Cross Trading models to improve accuracy and reduce potential false positives.

When uploading orders from a .csv file into the Order Book, you can now define "LeftoverAction" for TT Order Types, such as TT Time Sliced. Valid values are strings of either "Leave" or "Payup". If using "Payup", then you must also populate the "LeftoverTicks" field.

01/10/2020

Improvements

Order Book

In the Order Book, you can now cancel selected orders by pressing the delete key. You must have focus on the Order Book widget and have at least one order selected for this action to be executed.

01/10/2020

Improvements

Order Entry

We have improved the way we handle enforcement of the local maximum order quantity value. Previously, if you tried to enter an order qty value for more than your locally set max qty into an order qty edit box, the qty field background color changed to light red to indicate that there is a problem with the value. But if you actually enter the order while in that red warning state, the order qty value 'snapped back' to the value of the max order qty and the order was submitted with the maximum order quantity.

Now we allow you to enter any numeric value in the order quantity field, either by direct entry or via quantity button clicks. If the value exceeds the local max order qty, the edit box still displays the red warning background. But now if you attempt to submit that order, the order does not get sent and a red error message is displayed.

01/10/2020

Improvements

Settings

Order profile rule values uploaded by an Admin from a .csv file now display to non-admin users. Previously the values were hidden with the text "Configured by your administrator". Note that these values are read only and cannot be edited by non-admin users.

01/10/2020

Improvements

Order Entry

You can now configure additional hotkeys for the Order Ticket, including ability to submit a buy or sell order, open the Profiles and Account drop downs lists and set focus on quantity, price and TextTT fields. See the documentation for more details and default keystroke combinations.

This change was fully deployed to UAT and partially deployed to Production on Jan. 4, with the remainder of Production to be upgraded on Jan. 11. Please contact FIXIntegration@trade.tt with any questions.
