In May 2000, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) was established, with its founding shareholders representing some of the world’s largest energy traders. 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. ICE purchased NYSE Euronext, which was the parent company of NYSE Liffe, in November 2013.
TT® supports the following:
ICE's primary trade matching engine for all OTC and Futures products is based in the ICE Chicago data center. The original Atlanta-based data center now functions as a disaster recovery (DR) site.
With the exception of Financial NGL, NGX Physical Gas, and NGX Financial Power, TT supports market types with multicast groups listed in the "iMpact Pricefeed - Multicast Grp(s)" column in the Supported Market Types on ICE API document.
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.
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.
