Performance

We have released a new TT Desktop installer package v23.5.0 that utilizes Chromium v118. This version of TTD improves the performance of drop-down lists that contain many items, such as Account lists and Order Profiles. Also bundled in as part of this TTD install package is the recently released TT Excel Add-In v23.1 which contains an updated SSL certificate. Customers are urged to upgrade to this new TT Excel Add-In version as soon as practical because the current certificate expires 19 December 2023.

Improvements

Order Entry

You can now upload Limit orders into the Order Book from a .csv file by using two new columns in the file: "PricePayup" and "PricePayupType". The Type field defines the base price type and accepts "LTP", "Bid", "Ask", "Same Side" (aka Bid for Buy, Ask for a Sell) or "Opposite Side" (aka Ask for a Buy, Bid for a Sell). If the PricePayup field includes a % sign, e.g., "10%", that value will be treated as a Percentage, otherwise the value will be treated as the number of Ticks.

(Ref 159451)

Improvements

Order Entry

The Order Ticket now allows you to configure the price of a Limit order as a payup from a base price type with a new "Price Payup" checkbox. The payup can be defined either as a percentage or as the number of ticks. The base price type can be either LTP, Bid, Ask, Same Side (aka Bid for Buy, Ask for a Sell) or Opposite Side (aka Ask for a Buy, Bid for a Sell). The value is applied as a payup meaning that positive values are into the market and negative values are away from the market. Percentage values can have up to 2 digit decimal precision while Tick values must be integers. Both styles can be set to a maximum of 100. Note that this feature is not an algo, as the order price is determined by the front end using the value of the base price type at time of order submission.

General

CME BrokerTec RV Curve spreads are now supported. The spreads are priced as the difference in yield of the legs which results in an inverted price structure (Bid price higher than Ask price).

More information on the available products and specs can be found on the CME website - https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/brokertec/brokertec-rv-curve-and-butterflies.html

Improvements

General

We have released a new "Product Grid" widget that displays market data similar to the current Market Grid widget, but organizes the products and instruments more concisely to watch/trade multiple products with similar contract specs. The layout has the far left column as a "Term" column that displays the expiration info for a row. Then the grid to the right contains one or more groups each with the same set of columns, with each group as a different product. This layout provides a lot of information in a clean, concise, well organized format. Similar to the Market Grid, columns can be edited, resized and repositioned, and order entry can be initiated by clicks on the various price cells. See the documentation for more details.

Order Book

This value is displayed with two digits of precision, e.g., "13.64", with negative values displayed in parenthesis. This column can be sorted on a static basis similar to the other existing "Ticks Away" columns.

Improvements

General

To optimize the creation of RFQs on Eurex Enlight, TT has created a new “Counterparty Manager” widget. This widget can be launched from the main workspace titlebar "Edit" menu. The manager widget lets you create and name "lists" of counterparties that you regularly use for Enlight RFQs which can be applied as a group instead of having to select the counterparties one by one. Similar to the RFQ with Counterparties Widget, lists can be flagged as "favorites" by clicking the star icon. See the full documentation for more details.

Improvements

General

To support RFQs on Eurex Enlight, TT has created a new stand-alone “RFQ with Counterparties” widget. This widget can be launched from the Widgets > Options menu and can only be used with Eurex instruments. The basic workflow is to select an existing Eurex instrument, configure the RFQ with quantity, side (buy, sell or both), firm or indicative, and specify the counterparties you would like to receive the RFQ. Once submitted to the exchange, the RFQ will appear in the RFQ Viewer widget where you can select and initiate a trade with one of the responses from the designated counterparties. (Note: the responses are generated by exchange members outside of the TT system). Instead of selecting counterparties one by one, the widget also lets you select "lists" of counterparties that you have previously set up in the Counterparty List Manager widget. See the full documentation for more details.

Improvements

General

As part of supporting RFQs on Eurex Enlight, the RFQ Viewer widget now has the following optional columns to display the additional Enlight data: Counterparty, EnlightId, MktQuoteId, NegotId, QuoteType, QuotingStatus, Status and TransType. The widget displays Enlight RFQ rows in a parent/child manner to organize the various responses to an RFQ within a group that can be expanded and collapsed. Responses can be selected and traded by left click on the bid or ask cell to launch an Order Ticket.

Improvements

Order Entry

On FX Spot instruments, the order quantity controls provide a button immediately to the right of the numeric quantity value that toggles between "K", "M", "B" and blank. The selected character acts as a qualifier on the quantity value as follows: "K" = "Thousands", "M" = "Millions", "B" = "Billions", and blank means no qualifier (aka use the numeric value as is). For example, when the quantity is set as "2M", this means an order quantity of "2,000,000". The numeric portion supports two-digit decimal precision, for example, "0.50M" means "500,000".
