March 2020 - UAT Environment

Date	Type	Component	Release Note
03/31/2020	Improvements	FIX Services	Added an option to check FIX drop copy and order routing sessions, to send only the clearing fill (a/k/a the BD6 fill) on OM markets. When the setting is enabled, FIX will hold the initial BO5 fill until it receives an Order/Fill Update for the BD6 fill, then deliver only (1) execution report for that fill (not a restatement). This feature is disabled by default. Version: v98
03/27/2020	Improvements	TT Rest API	We will be making a breaking change such that all /pds endpoints will require two new mandatory parameters: a token in the header and a requestId passed as a query string. These parameters are already mandatory for all other endpoints and discussed in detail here. Their inclusion will help in making the API more robust as well as assist us in pinpointing issues that occur. We are targeting to deploy these changes to our User Acceptance Testing (UAT) environment on June 19 and to production on June 26. Customers are advised to update and test their applications prior to the production release dates. TT will be releasing updated versions of the TT REST API sample applications by June 19. Production Release: 03/27/2020
03/27/2020	Improvements	Setup App	Setup administrators can now allow modification of exchange clearing account on a working order and filled order by checking "Modify clearing account on working orders (ASX only)" and "Modify clearing accounts on fill" checkboxes under User->Account and Account->User permissions. These permissions can also be configured under Account restrictions. This release introduces the configuration option. TT will announce when the feature is supported system wide.

03/10/2020	Improvements	Performance	The Orders and Fills widget (OFW) now ignores the orders pane setting "Include orders from previous sessions" if it is checked on, and will only show current session fills for "watched" orders. This change greatly improves OFW performance by keeping current session fills in memory, and also mimics the behavior of the legacy OFW in 7.x X_TRADER.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Charts	Added a new "Trading Schedule" widget available from the chart menu, which allows you to view the daily open and close times for the product in the chart. Times can be viewed in local PC time or exchange time.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Exchanges	The ICE strategy instruments with the flag LegDealsSuppressed field=Y are now represented as Future instruments instead of being represented as Spreads. This instruments are now correctly categorized to match Webice. Example - HHD Balmonth, HHD NextDay etc
03/10/2020	Improvements	Performance	The TT v10 release significantly improves both the TT browser and TT Desktop application memory utilization and internal performance of handling very large numbers of orders, fills and price updates under heavy loads.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Order Entry	To provide quicker access to algo templates during order entry, the Order Ticket algo template selector drop down control can now be set to always display on the ticket by enabling it via the right click "Show/Hide" menu. When checked on to "show", the template drop down control will appear on the main set of controls directly below the order type drop down control.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Fills	The Fills widget (and the middle fills pane in the Orders and Fills widget) now provides a "Price with Detail" display mode. This view aggregates fills and displays summarized quantity totals at each price level grouped by contract.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Fills	The Fills widget now provides a right click menu option to create a manual fill which launches the Position Manager widget. When Admin select this menu item the Position Manger will automatically be set to create an Admin fill.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Spread Matrix	Spread Matrix widget now displays vertical and horizontal scroll bars.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Order Book	The Order Book and Orders and Fills Widget (OFW) now highlight the ExeQty value in yellow for partially filled orders.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Settings	A new setting is now available for Order Book and Fills widgets that will highlight order and fill rows when a new order or fill occurs. The highlight color will display for the designated number of seconds. Setting the value to zero (0) seconds will retain the highlight color until you select the right click menu "Mark all as seen".
03/10/2020	Improvements	Settings	Customizable color settings have been added to the Order Book and Fills widgets. Note that Buy text and Sell text are set separately from the individual background colors for the various states of the order and fill rows.

03/10/2020	Improvements	Algo Dashboard	Algo Dashboard can now be grouped with and filter the views of other widgets such as Order Book, Fills widget and Audit Trail.
03/10/2020	Improvements	RTD	RTD now supports two new "endpoints" named "OrderStats" and "FillStats". - "OrderStats" supports the following fields: BuyCnt, SellCnt, NetCnt, BuyWrk, SellWrk, NetWrk, BuyPos, SellPos, NetPos - "FillStats" supports the following fields: BuyFillCnt, SellFillCnt, NetFillCnt, BuyPos, SellPos, NetPos To use these, first create an Order Set (or Fill Set) with whatever filters you'd like, e.g., Account, TextTT, etc. like this: =RTD("tt.rtd",,"OS","TextTT=my_text") Then refer to that order or fill set ID, like this: =RTD("tt.rtd",,"OrderStats", <OS_ID>, "BuyCnt") where <OS_ID> is the reference to the Order Set you created. See the documentation for more information.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Fills	The Order Book and Fills widget now both have an optional checkbox setting to apply (or not apply) italics font styling to fills.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Settings	We have added a new global Sounds preference to treat full fills on child orders as partial fills on the parent order. With this new "Consider child order full fill as partial fill" setting enabled, a partial fill sound will play when a child order of a parent order fully fills, instead of the previous behavior of playing the full fill sound when a child order fully filled (assuming both full and partial sounds are enabled). If only full fill sounds are enabled, and partial sounds are turned off, then fills on child orders will not play ... only the full sound will play when the parent is fully filled.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Positions	The Positions widget now saves and restores filters and expand/collapse state of rows when switching between tabs.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Orders	We have renamed ExchAcct to be "ClearingAcct" in all TTW/TTD widgets, edit boxes, tooltips, hint text, etc. to make the front end consistent with the "Clearing Account" field in TTUS setup screens. We have also added a new "AltExchAcct" field as a column in Order Profiles, Order Book, Fills widget and Audit Trail. This field initially maps to the "Exchange Account" field in TTUS setup screens (tag 440) for the ICE and ICE_L exchanges. Note that now with this field added to the Order Profiles widget, local values can be defined in the front end for this field for ICE and ICE_L.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Order Entry	In the Order Ticket, you can now create a custom action button to seed the Manual Fill order type. This helps to quickly fill a parent care order with a manual fill.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Market Grid	You can now resize Market Grid to be very narrow in width.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Market Grid	In Market Grid, you can now expand/collapse all market depth rows at once (instead of one by one) by left clicking on the upper left cell of the grid to select all rows, and then click once on the plus/minus to apply that state to all rows in the grid.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Options	Added support for custom strategy creation on the Montreal Exchange (MX).
03/10/2020	Improvements	Settings	Order Profile rules can now be set for the <Default> profile by an Admin via the .csv upload process.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Fills	The Fills widget now provides an optional "OrderQty" column that is OFF by default. When enabled this column will populate when in the 'By Order" or "By Order (Summary) mode, and will display the sum of the filled qty and the remaining working qty of the order.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Market Data	Orders placed on hold no longer display their quantity in Market Grid columns for working orders.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Order Entry	When working a parent care order, the Order Ticket now hides the "Flip for Buy/Sell" functionality to ensure that child orders can only be submitted in the intended buy/sell direction.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Market Grid	Market Grid now displays the full instrument name in a tooltip upon mouse hover on the Contract cell.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Algo Dashboard	You can now minimize Algo Dashboard components such as the Algo Explorer (left pane) and the Algo Parameters (right pane) via a right click context menu. Once minimized, they can be restored by left click on the thin vertical bar.
03/10/2020	Improvements	Order Entry	When the Order Ticket is set to 'Broker mode', flipping the buy/sell direction no longer affects the price seeded in the main price control prior to changing the B/S direction.
03/09/2020	Improvements	Exchanges	1. Mexder market should be available on TT platform for trading. 2.The available orders type is Limit order with time in force as IOC and Day 3.The product types supported for trading are Futures, Options and Spreads Known Issues - 1. As per exchange rules, the order modification does not allow increasing the order quantity. The quantity of the order could only be decreased as part of order modification. 2. The leg fills are not published automatically for a spread fill as exchange generates leg fills manually after the spread trade. So, the latency is expected. 3. The ladder for interest rates products is opposite that the conventional future products i.e. Lower bid and Higher offer prices are better prices respectively.
03/06/2020	Improvements	Setup App	When "Prevent Duplicate Orders" settings are configured on a parent account, they will now be inherited by all the sub accounts when "Apply to sub-accounts" checkbox is checked. If the settings are configured on the parent account, the sub accounts will not be able to opt out.
