This new report, viable on the reports tab in the dashboard, allows for generating and exporting cluster lists of any time period.

02/25/2022

03/11/2022

Fixes

Fixed an issue where settlement prices on the B3 and MX market were occasionally applied to the previous session

(Ref 138519)

02/17/2022

Fixes

Fills

Fixed an issue in the Fills widget where contracts added via the "Add Custom Value" method did not filter correctly.

(Ref 138031)

02/17/2022

Improvements

Blocktrader

Blocktrader now has two optional settings to enable the "Auto RFQ/Auto IOI" and "Auto ITC" checkboxes by default when configuring an OTC order in a market that supports those features.

(Ref 138030)

02/17/2022

Fixes

Audit Trail

Fixed an issue where using the "Execute" button in the Order Book on a staged order generated an erroneous "Staged order claim forbidden" risk reject message in the Audit Trail even though the child order is successfully placed into the market.

(Ref 138028)

02/17/2022

Fixes

Order Book

Fixed an issue in the Order Book where the currently applied Time in Force is not validated when changing the order type on an existing order. Some order types support a restricted set of TIFs, and changing to/from one of those order types could result in the new order being rejected if the TIF is not valid.

(Ref 138023)

02/17/2022

Fixes

Fills

Fixed an issue where multiple fills received in a "fills_group" sometimes had duplicate ExchTranIDs.

(Ref 138022)

02/17/2022

Fixes

Order Book

Fixed issues related to existing Orders and Fills widgets (OFW) saved to a workspace. The issues addressed were (1) sometimes the Route column would show a filter applied when there is none, and (2) sometimes confirming a filled order would not recognize it as being confirmed in the fills pane.

(Ref 138020)

02/17/2022

Fixes

Fills

Fixed an issue where manual fills created on spread instruments with legs sometimes did not reappear after refresh.

(Ref 138018)

02/17/2022

Improvements

Performance

We have significantly improved the initial startup process for admin users monitoring large numbers of users and accounts by searching for limits needed by the logged in user on demand, instead of at startup. The front end application requires limits for margin calculations in the positions widget, and for pre-trade risk checks for TT Order Types on native instruments. We have seen some admin users with more than 2 million individual limits, and this new behavior reduces their startup needs by 99.999%.

(Ref 138013)

02/17/2022

Improvements

Order Book

The Order Book now retains the existing order type when applying a new profile to an existing order.

(Ref 138009)

02/17/2022

Improvements

Order Entry

When configuring an order you can now increase/decrease the price and quantity using the plus + and minus - keys on the number pad. Note that because prices on some instruments accept + and - as part of the price, the price adjustment via the keyboard requires enabling this feature via hotkeys.

(Ref 138007)

02/17/2022

Improvements

Options

Added front end support for submitting RFQs for NASDAQ_NED instruments.

(Ref 137987)

02/17/2022

Fixes

MD Trader

Fixed an issue that caused the hold button to be incorrectly enabled when selecting a TT Order Type, even though it was configured to be hidden.

(Ref 137981)

02/17/2022

Improvements

Audit Trail

The Audit Trail and Audit Query widget now include a "SMP ID" column that displays the value of the Self Match Prevention ID used to conduct a match at the exchange.

(Ref 137979)

02/17/2022

Improvements

Market Grid

You can now filter Market Grid on the Exch, Status and Type columns.

(Ref 137795)

02/17/2022

Fixes

General

Fixed an issue that prevented dragging tabs up or down when you have multiple rows of tabs.

(Ref 137793)

02/17/2022

Improvements

Order Book

You can now customize the background color for the Order Book "ExeQty" cell to better identify partially filled orders.

(Ref 137737)

02/16/2022

Improvements

Exchanges

TT will now support the configuration of Order Tag Defaults (OTD) for both Execution Decision Qualifier and Investment Decision Qualifier. Support will be rolled out on a market by market basis, beginning with Eurex and EEX. The behavior is as follows:

On a New Order Single
- If the OTD is not configured, and there is no override sent on the order, the current behavior will persist and manual_order_indicator will be used to set the default qualifier values as it does today
- Override and TTUS lookup are allowed

For Change and Delete actions
- Override is only allowed if the user id / algo changes or source is FA / API
- TTUS lookup is only allowed if the user id / algo changes;
- When TTUS lookup is allowed, but the OTDs for these qualifiers are not configured the manual_order_indicator will be used to set the default qualifier values
- When override / TTUS lookup is not allowed, or somehow both have no valid values, the working orders' original values are used

02/17/2022

Improvements

TT Rest API

Adding a new endpoint in ttledger called /tcrfills which returns Trade Capture Reports.

(Ref 138151)

Production Release: 02/17/2022

02/15/2022

02/17/2022

Score

GUI Update: Scores models are now grouped by type on the dashboard and on the surveillance tab. Users and expand and collapse these groupings by simply clicking on the grouping names. As always users can remove models from view in the preferences tab. Note that if you remove all models in the grouping the grouping header will not display until at least one model from that grouping is added back.

(Ref 138183)

02/09/2022

02/14/2022

02/14/2022

Improvements

Score

New beta model: Book Dominance. This model identifies periods where a traders disclosed working volume exceeds the average volume of the top 5 price levels by a significant mount. Traders that dominate the book may be engaging in painting the tape or other manipulations more generally. This model is under the new "trading behaviors" grouping where high scores flag outlier behaviors that are not tied directly to a specific rule violation.

(Ref 138182)

02/09/2022

02/14/2022

02/14/2022

Improvements

Score

New beta model: Dominating the Open. This trading behaviors model looks for an abnormally high percentages of market volume being filled by a single trader in the 15 minutes after the open. Although making up a high percent of the total market volume at the open is not strictly a rule violation, this behavior may draw regulatory scrutiny. This model is under the new "trading behaviors" grouping where high scores flag outlier behaviors that are not tied directly to a specific rule violation.

(Ref 138181)

02/07/2022

02/27/2022

Improvements

FIX Services

Added the following enum to tag 16114, LinkType:
<value enum='R' description='ROOT_ALGO_ORDER_ID' />

When tag 16114=R on an execution report, tag 16113, LinkID, will contain the TT Order ID of the topmost parent order in a parent/child/grandchild/etc. chain of algo orders.

Feb. 7 Update: Nasdaq has re-scheduled the go-live date for the NASDAQ_NED platform to Saturday March 26th with a first trading day of Monday March 28th.

Nasdaq is “re-platforming” their Nordic Equity Derivatives markets off the current API and onto a new API, targeting production as of March 28, 2022. The full background is available on the TT System News page (link attached).

TT Clients who currently access Nordic Equity Derivatives via TT FIX are strongly encouraged to integration test their market data, order routing and/or drop copy applications in TT’s UAT environment as soon as possible.

Note that the following values will be changing on NASDAQ_NED for every contract previously available on NDAQ_EU as a result of the exchange-mandated migration:
* Symbol
* Instrument ID
* MIC Code
* Security ID
* Alias

The link below provides a mapping of Nordic Equity Derivatives products from NDAQ_EU to Nasdaq_NED. Note that the Instrument IDs listed are for the UAT environment only. We are working with the exchange to determine when these values will be available for the Production environment.
