Improvements

Score

Model Update: Momentum Ignition. In addition to all the previous functionality of the model, this update allows the model now detects slower "ignitions" i.e. aggressive placing of orders at higher (or lower) prices over longer periods of time.

10/28/2021

10/29/2021

Improvements

Score

Model update: Abusive messaging. Abusive messaging now uses the ratio of order event types to help reduce false positive clusters. Clusters that are overwhelmingly comprised of cancels or new orders will now score lower. Previously the model was not discounting behaviors that indicated the activity was likely end-of-day mass cancels or start-of-day stacking of new orders.

Improvements

Setup App

Setup administrators can now use User->Accounts Administrators tab to configure different administrative roles within the firm and delegate risk management and account setup to separate users.

FIX Services

Oct. 20 Update: The Production deployment date for this change has been pushed from Oct. 22 to Oct. 29 in order to limit changes to the TT production environment prior to the FIA sponsored Industry-Wide Disaster Recovery Tests scheduled for Oct. 23.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following on our original announcement from August 26, TT continues to make changes to our Security Master database (PDS) to synchronize the month and year values displayed in the TT Trading GUI (PDS Alias field) with TT FIX tags 200, MaturityMonthYear, and 610, LegMaturityMonthYear values for all FIX order routing, drop copy, market data and security definition messages.

NOTE: ICE market now supports this feature in UAT, with production support scheduled for October 29, 2021.

PDS has introduced a new field, ContractDisplayDate, (CDD), which will contain the month & year values from the Alias field. PDS will be rolling out this change market-by-market. JPX, TOCOM and OSE markets currently support the new value in production. Support for PDS CDD in additional markets will be announced in future.

In TT FIX v158 & higher, when the PDS CDD field is present on an instrument, TT FIX will map CDD to tags 200 & 610 on all relevant inbound & outbound messages. When CDD is not present, the existing mapping to PDS Maturity Date will continue as currently implemented.

Customers trading ICE contracts via FIX are strongly encouraged to test their applications in UAT prior to the October 29 rollout date to ensure integration with the new behavior. Contracts listed in PDS under ICE_L market will not be impacted. Please reach out to your TT Customer Representative or email fixintegration@trade.tt with any questions or concerns.

General

The exchange compliance zip file will be generated for each calendar day for all exchanges (regardless of whether the exchange is open). This is done to allow customers to easily determine if they've downloaded all the files from the EFT server.

Prior to this change, files where only provided for calendar days in which exchanges were open and there was trading activity for companies who use connection owned by other companies.

Improvements

Order Entry

When creating a child order of a staged order, we now seed the order type from the staged order into the child order type of an algo.

Similarly, a staged limit order will seed the algo as a limit child order type.
