Setup App

In order to streamline workload for administrators, TT now supports 'Bulk Copy' capability in the Setup App for Order Tag Defaults. Administrators can select a profile, account or user and bulk copy all the associated Order Tag Defaults to one or more profiles, accounts or users. Resources of the same type can be copied. For example, order tag defaults associated with users cannot be copied to accounts.

01/13/2021

Improvements

Order Entry

When seeding the leg prices for a manual fill on a care order for an exchange listed Crack spread, the Order Ticket now correctly seeds the second leg price based on the crack spread multiplier. For example, on a CME HO|CL Crack spread, we seed the (first) HO leg with a market price, and seed the (second) CL leg with (HO seeded price x 42) - Crack spread price.

01/13/2021

Improvements

Settings

We have added a new "Account and User Restrictions" widget to display within a single grid a read-only view of restrictions configured in TT User Setup. The data is organized within two tabbed views, one for Accounts and another for User permissions per account, and supports sorting, filtering and exporting as .csv and/or .xlsx files.

01/13/2021

Improvements

Order Entry

When the global Preference > Orders > "Account selection drives order profiles" is enabled, profiles that are configured for specific accounts now get displayed at the top of the profile drop down list.

01/13/2021

Improvements

General

A new optional "BBG" column is available in Market Grid, Order Book, Audit Trail and Fills widget which displays the Bloomberg product symbol when enabled for Bloomberg codes, and is empty when not. Note, because these codes are for local front end display only, these codes will not be included in downloads from fill widget, and historical filtering will not work on this column. Local filtering/sorting should function as expected.

01/13/2021

Improvements

Settings

For users in companies that are enabled for Bloomberg codes, we now provide a global preference to determine which symbol is primary and which is secondary in TTW/TT Desktop product symbol displays. If "Exchange" is Primary, the Bloomberg code will display in parenthesis immediately after the exchange symbol, e.g., "CL (CL1)" for CME Crude Oil Futures, and "BRN (CO1)" for ICE Brent Crude Futures. If Bloomberg is set as primary, the exchange code will display inside the parentheses.

Setup App

As of March 1 2021, all users subscribing to MEFF market data are required to sign market data agreements before being able to view market data for these markets. These agreements can be signed from the User- >Agreements tab in the Setup application. The Trade application will also prompt for a market data agreement if it is not already signed. Customers wishing to sign this agreement before the Mar 1 deadline can do so from within Setup (User- >Agreements).

01/07/2021

Improvements

Setup App

Setup administrators can now use a new feature, "Lock Sub Account" to lock the value of an exchange order tag default not only for exact matches, but also for more specific matches on child accounts. For example, locking a value that applies to all exchanges, would mean that a value configured for just the CME exchange would be ignored. Brokers that share accounts to clients, and use the “Apply to Sub Accounts” option should check the new lock option as well, unless variations are allowed.

01/07/2021

Fixes

Market Data

The 'day' in the Maturity Date field for Weekly Options on CME was incorrectly being populated with the week number instead of the correct date. This has been fixed in UAT, and will be fixed in Production on 1/29/21.
