TT Brisk

A TT Brisk order attempts to fill the order closer to when the order enters the market based on the order's Start Time. TT Brisk orders use the current day's trades and market data to minimize risk-adjusted slippage relative to the order's arrival price by creating a front-weighted trajectory vs forecast volume profile.

For more information, refer to the TT Brisk Order section of the Trade help.

9 Participation Rate
Tag9103
Float_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters If provided, sets an optional cap on the parent orders participation rate during the life of the order
10 Aggression
Tag9111
Int_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters Influences how strongly to tilt order trajectory (TT Close, TT Brisk), how tightly to track max participation (TT POV, TT Scale POV), or how tightly to follow an order schedule (TT TWAP+, TT VWAP+).

For TT Brisk orders, this means:

Lower aggression (e.g. 0) trades close to a normal VWAP curve.
Mid/Default aggression (e.g. 5) trades faster upfront than VWAP based upon product-specific optimizations to balance the risk of market impact vs price drift.
High aggression (e.g. 10) trades most quickly with respect to a standard VWAP, expressing greater preference for minimizing price drift.

Valid enums 0-10
11 Tilt Mode
Tag9112
Int_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters Determines the methodology used to tilt away from the a normal Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP)-based schedule for TT Brisk and TT Close algos.

1: - Model Driven: Uses the instrument's liquidity and volatility profile to determine the strength of the tilt.

This setting results in the tilt, compared to a normal VWAP schedule, being more pronounced with higher Aggression setting, higher instrument liquidity, higher instrument volatility, and longer order duration.

2: Simple - The strength of the tilt is determined by the Aggression level and applied as a simple, linear shift vs a VWAP+ order trajectory. Higher Aggression levels will result in the order being shifted further away from VWAP+.
12 DynamicDuration
Tag9302
Boolean_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters If set to True, orders submitted may finish ahead of any defined End Time. If not selected, parent orders will seek to utilize the full trading window as defined by the EffectiveTime and ExpireTime/DurationRCM.
13 Tracking
Tag9145
Int_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters Allows trader to select between trend following and reversionary behavior.

Supported values include:

1: AP-Revert-Low
2: AP-Revert-Med
3: AP-Revert-High
4: AP-Trend-Low
5: AP-Trend-Med
6: AP-Trend-High
14 Brisk Limit Mode
Tag9115
Int_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters

Specifies whether the order should get more aggressive when opposite side quote price is at the limit price.

This setting can be used to manage fill rate risk, increasing the expected fill rate if the market is nearing the limit price, at the cost of higher expected slippage on executed quantity.

Possible values include:

0: Default (Off)
1: Aggressive More At Limit - When the opposite side quote price is equal to the limit price, the order will monitor liquidity conditions tick by tick and send extra IOC (Immediate or Cancel) orders to opportunistically take additional liquidity before the market runs away.
2-4: Faster Near Limit (Mild, Medium, Strong) - In addition to the above behavior, the order will dynamically strengthen the tilt and trade faster as the market price approaches the limit price.
15 I Would Price
Tag9106
Price_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters Price at which you would like to aggressively attempt to fill your order, regardless of the algorithm logic.

Order aggressively tries to fill if the instrument reaches this price, irrespective of volume based tracking objectives. Should be lower than limit and arrival time ask prices for BUY orders, higher than limit and arrival time bid prices for SELL orders.
16 IWouldQty
Tag9215
Int_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters When set to any value greater than 0, I Would Qty setting equals the minimum top of book quantity required before the order will cross the spread.
17 IWouldQtyPct
Tag9216
Float_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters Similar to I Would Qty, but set as a percent of the order quantity.

Note: The field represents the number as a percent and should not be submitted as a decimal: a value of 70 equals 70%.
18 IWouldQtyVariancePct
Tag9225
Float_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters Randomizes the I Would Qty and I Would Qty % thresholds by a specified percent in each direction.

Note: This field represents the number as a percent and should not be submitted as a decimal. For example, a value of 10 equals 10%.

For example, if I Would Qty equals 100 and I Would Qty Variance % equals 20, the I Would Qty behavior will be triggered based on available size being between 80-120, depending on randomized value selected within the variance range.
19 MaxSpreadCrossTicks
Tag9221
Int_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters If greater than 0, an order will not cut or cross a bid-ask spread that is more than the specified amount wide.

Start Time

Tag 168

UTCTimstamp_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters If not set, defaults to Now
21

End Time

Tag 126

UTCTimstamp_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters End Time and Duration are mutually exclusive and only one should be set; if neither value is set the parent order will default to the market close time of the Instrument.

The duration is interpreted as the number of minutes the parent order should be active from Start Time.
Duration
Tag9202
Int_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters
22 EndTimeOverride
Tag9203
Int_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters Overrides End Time, Duration, or the default with one of several product hours related values. Available options are:

0: None (Default)
1: Last Session Close
2: Next Session Close
3: Settlement

Note: If the current time is in the final continuous trading session of the day Next Session Close and Last Session Close reference the same time.
23 IfTouchedPrice
Tag9190
Price_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters Price at which parent order is triggered If Touched
24 PostTriggerDuration
Tag9191
Int_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters If utilizing OrderType Stop or Stop Limit, or if utilizing IfTouchedPrice, PostTriggerDuration should be utilized in lieu of End Time or Duration. Defines the number of minutes from the point a parent order is triggered to begin working the order should be active.
