12/07/2020

Improvements

Time & Sales

Improved the performance of Time and Sales when initiating subscriptions for large numbers of instruments.

12/07/2020

Improvements

Fills

As part of our OMS efforts we have added a new "Allocation" widget. This widget is applicable to partially filled or fully filled care orders that are in "locked" state, meaning the fills have yet to be released. We currently support two allocation methods: “Avg Price” and “Fill Prices”. We plan to support allocation to multiple accounts in the future.

12/07/2020

Improvements

Order Entry

We no longer display the "order routing is unavailable" error message on a staged order, with or w/out a connection. Even if the connection is down, the execution trader may decide to fill the order with a manual fill.

12/07/2020

Improvements

Settings

You can now optionally display a separator within large numeric values, e.g., thousands, millions, etc. This new global preference can be set as either a comma or a period, and does not apply to price values.

12/07/2020

Improvements

Order Entry

When submitting an order from TTW or TT Desktop, the appropriate value for the "position_effect" flag is now only sent as part of the order if the Open/Close button is available in the order entry widget for that market. Previously the flag was always sent and defaulted to "open" if the button was unavailable.

12/07/2020

Fixes

Time & Sales

Fixed an issue that sometimes caused Time & Sales to miss updates on strategy instruments that have been 'revived' at the exchange.

12/07/2020

Fixes

Strategy Creation

Fixed an issue that sometimes seeded incorrect future quantity calculation for Euronext Vola Strategies.

12/07/2020

Improvements

MD Trader

You can now optionally use the Profile selection to filter the working orders displayed on the MD Trader ladder. When filtering by profile, selecting a profile will filter orders on the price ladder, and position values will filter by account regardless of the profile selection. This new setting only applies to profiles defined in TT User Setup and is not applicable to local profiles set up in the front end either manually or uploaded via a .csv file. The setting is disabled when the Profile drop down control is not exposed in the Preferences > Orders page.

12/07/2020

Improvements

Order Book

The global Preferences > Orders page now includes a new "Order Book modification qty seeding" preference with two options: "Original Qty" and "Working Qty". Default = Original Qty, which corresponds to existing behavior. If "Working Qty" is selected, and you have an order to buy 30 and get partially filled on 12, when you select the order in the order book, the remaining working qty (18) will seed into the upper order modification pane, instead of the original qty of 30.

12/07/2020

Improvements

Settings

You can now designate individual accounts as "favorites" by left clicking a yellow star icon in the right side of the account dropdown list and/or in the Account List widget. Accounts marked as favorites are sorted to top in the dropdown list on order entry widgets and in the Account List widget.

12/07/2020

Improvements

Order Entry

You can now work care orders with MD Trader. Clicking the B/S button in the Order Book on a parent care order will now launch either an Order Ticket or an MD Trader based on the users preference setting for floating order entry style.

12/07/2020

Improvements

Order Entry

Order uploads via .csv files now supports "ChildOrderType" for TT Stop, TT Time Sliced, TT Time Duration and TT Volume Duration. Valid values are "Limit", "Market" and 'MLM". Note: "StopOrderType" should be used for TT Bracket and TT OCO.

12/07/2020

Improvements

Settings

We have significantly improved the TTW/TT Desktop user login startup process for downloading very large amounts of Order Tag Default records (OTDs) from TT User Setup. For a user with less than 10,000 OTDs there is no change to current behavior. However, users with more than 10k OTDs will only load the first 10k records at startup. The remaining records will be downloaded on an as-needed basis.

12/07/2020

Improvements

Settings

You can now create alerts in the Alert Manager using Originator and CurrentUser as part of the alert definition.

12/07/2020

Improvements

Settings

You can now designate individual Order Profiles as "favorites" by left clicking a yellow star icon in the right side of the Order Profile dropdown list and/or in the Order Profile widget. Profiles marked as favorites are sorted to top in the dropdown list on order entry widgets and in the Order Profile widget.

12/07/2020

Improvements

Order Entry

The Order Ticket SLED dropdown now only displays prefix options of "&" and "%".

12/07/2020

Improvements

Order Entry

When creating a child order of a parent staged order the Order Ticket now honors the Clearing Account "Client Can Override" setting in TTUS. The clearing account field in the Order ticket will display a preview of the value based on the TTUS value. If the "can override" setting is enabled in TTUS, the Order Ticket will allow the user to enter a new value if desired. If the setting is not enabled, the clearing account field will be disabled.

12/07/2020

Improvements

Blocktrader

You can now save Blocktrader widget settings as defaults.

12/07/2020

Improvements

Settings

You can now have as many order profile widgets as you would like in as many windows as you would like. Each order profile will update every window, and a change to one will be reflected in a change to the rest.

12/04/2020

Improvements

Setup App

Exchange parameters that are unique per user (for example, Operator ID and Authorized Trader) will now not be cloned when a user is cloned.

12/02/2020

Improvements

Autospreader

Autospreader and Aggregator now natively enforce round lot quantities without the need to apply a custom quote or hedge rule.

Custom rules will no longer be required for exchanges which enforce minimum tradeable quantities. Autospreader and Aggregator will perform the rounding action automatically taking into consideration minimum lot size and round lot size.

12/02/2020

Fixes

Autospreader

Autospreader to handle the 'reserve' market state for the Montreal exchange in the same manner as 'closed'. This update prevents GTC spreads containing MX instruments from being cancelled unintentionally at market close.
