TT TWAP+ ORDER

TT Scale Percent of Volume (POV) Premium order type tracks and reacts to real-time market volumes to target a user-defined dynamically adjusting participation rate. The value of the participation rate varies between the user-defined minimum and maximum values and is based on real-time market conditions.

For more information, refer to the TT TWAP+ ORDER 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
Enum 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 TWAP+ orders, this means:

Setting to 0 provides the maximum fluctuation from the parent order schedule.
Setting to 5 means the order can be somewhat passive, still following the parent order schedule but includes some flexibility for passive fills.
Setting to 10 equals following the parent order schedule as closely as possible.

Valid enums 0-10
11 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.
12 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.
13 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%.
14 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.
15 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
17

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
18 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.
19 IfTouchedPrice
Tag9190
Price_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters Price at which parent order is triggered If Touched
20 PostTriggerDuration
Tag9191
Int_t FALSE TRUE UserParameters If utilizing OrderType Stop or Stop Limit, or if utilizing TriggerPrice, 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.
