Additionally, ICE has regional network connection hubs that are located in key areas worldwide. At present, ICE has hubs located in Atlanta, Chicago, and New York in the United States, London in the United Kingdom, and in Singapore.

Self Match Prevention support
TT supports the ICE Self Match Prevention (SMP) functionality.
SMP is optional per user and allows an executing firm to prevent the matching of orders with common ownership if both the buy and sell orders contain a registered code (STPF ID). The STPF IDs are user-defined and need to be registered at the exchange and configured for each selected user on a per firm basis using Setup.
Connectivity Options
The TT® platform provides connectivity to the exchange, so you do not have to contact the exchange regarding connectivity options. Refer to TT Access for more details about your connectivity options for connecting to TT.
