TT Uncovered Overview

Introduction to TT Uncovered

The TT Uncovered application seeks enhanced pricing and liquidity in CME options and options strategies by implying prices from a range of delta neutral Covered User Defined Spreads (UDS), and looking for opportunities where trading the Covered UDS and subsequently trading away the covering futures allocation offers competitive liquidity to the direct quote. The application displays a synthetic Best Bid/Offer (BBO) based on the UDS markets and allows the user to efficiently act on pricing opportunities within the direct option BBO.

TT Uncovered consists of three windows:

  • Login Window: allows for the user to enter their secret app key, select the trading environment they are targeting, and choose the desired price display format.
  • Main Window: allows for order entry and management and provides information on working and filled orders.
  • Synthetic Quote Definition Window: allows for the configuration of synthetic quotes on options and option strategies.

Prior to using TT Uncovered, administrators and users must complete the tasks listed in the Enabling User Access section.
