07/28/2022			Improvements	Blocktrader	In Blocktrader, the counterparty is now dependent on selecting the TT Account. When a TT Account is selected, either via an Order profile, or manually by using the TT Account drop-down control, if only one counterparty is available for that TT Account, that counterparty will display as the selected counterparty. If more than one counterparty is available for that TT Account, then the first counterparty will display as the selected counterparty. In addition, specifically for TFEX, the contents of the counterparty drop-down list will be filtered to only contain counterparty's avail for the selected TT Account. We plan to extend this more restrictive counterparty filtering behavior to other markets over time, but currently reducing the available counterparty list based on TT Account will only apply to TFEX. (Ref 143236)
07/24/2022			Improvements	Blocktrader	Selecting a Profile in Blocktrader now seeds the TT Account field with the first account associated with that profile in Setup and also seeds any Order Tag default values defined in Setup for that profile. (Ref 142856)

07/15/2022			Improvements	Algos	As a follow up to TT's acquisition of RCM-X, the RCM-X algos have been rebranded as "TT Premium Order Types". When permissioned for them, they now appear in the Order Type drop-down list in a separate group immediately below the "TT Order Types" group. (Ref 141952)
07/15/2022			Improvements	Order Entry	To better indicate that an algo order is set to start (or end) on a date beyond today's date, the Start (End) date/time field now displays a yellow background color when the date portion of the date/time is greater than the current workstation date. Also, the order confirmation string now appends the text "starting after today" (or ending) and is also highlighted in yellow to remind again that the algo is configured beyond today's date.

07/08/2022	07/08/2022		Improvements	Exchanges	Access to Orders and Prices for the new "SGX Gift City" NIFTY Equity Derivatives Platform is now available under the new "SGX_GIFT" Market in both UAT and Production. "SGX_GIFT" Subscriber/FIX Market Data must be enabled before users can access SGX Gift City prices via user interfaces. New "SGX_GIFT" Connections need to be created in order to route orders to SGX Gift Connect. - IMPORTANT - Users who trade on SGX_GIFT need to be aware of the following Information, and take it into consideration when trading on SGX Gift City. (1) The FIX Market Data feed provided by the SGX Exchange’s Gift Connect Platform provides only partial trade update data. Because full reporting of every trade update is not provided, the following TT platform features are affected as follows: - Time & Sales is not supported - VAP is not supported - Charts and Analytics are not supported - TT Stop / TT If-Touched Orders with Trigger Price Type set to LTP may not trigger as expected. - Any TT order types (TT Time Duration, TT Volume Sliced, etc) that are configured with a Pre-Condition Trigger that has a Trigger Price Type set to LTP may not trigger as expected. (2) On the SGX Gift Connect platform, each User Login API is limited to 10 Transactions per Second. - SGX Gift Connect enforces a 10 Transactions per Second (TPS) on each Connection to the exchange. - When the TPS limit is exceeded, each order transaction (Order Add, Modify, Cancel) sent within the same second is rejected by SGX Gift Connect with the following message (Tag 58): ”NUMBER OF NNF REQUESTS EXCEEDED” - To mitigate the TPS Limit and avoid disruption to trading activity, TT recommends that in TTUS, each Connection have a Max order rate setting applied. (Ref 142544)
07/07/2022	07/15/2022	07/15/2022	Fixes	Setup App	Removed the user-level field "Execution Decision Within Firm" as this field is not used by the system. The system uses the account-level field "Execution Decision ID". This change had been communicated to affected customers earlier this month. (Ref 142734)
07/07/2022			Improvements	Settings	Added back end support for the new Credit Loss option, "Allow Trade Out Only" option on the Accounts->SOD/Credit tab. When this feature is configured on an account, if the account's credit loss is greater than allowed (configured as a percentage of daily limit), the risk system will only allow new orders that decrease current exposure on the account. Like other credit checks, this limit applies to the account and any child accounts in aggregate. (Ref 142487)
