Release Notes

Explore key releases enhancing trade execution and management.
Settings- Sounds for Algo submitted/canceled orders 
  • Currently, the sounds for “New” and “Cancel” orders play for both manual orders and orders by automated tools. We have now separated the order actions between manual and algo to allow you to be notified when one or the other occurs. To implement this, the current two sound settings have been renamed to reference manual actions, and we have added two new sound settings for algo actions. 
Settings-  Increase number of custom action buttons
  • You can now configure up to fifty (50) custom action buttons on the Order Ticket and MD Trader. Previously the limit was twenty (20) buttons per widget.
OMS  Care order passing
  • We have extended our current OMS order passing ability to now include the ability to pass staged orders.

 

Upcoming

Order Book display Rejected orders for the current session
  • The Order Book and Orders and Fills widget (OFW) now display rejected orders for the current session. A new “Message” column can optionally be exposed that displays the same reject message text displayed in the Audit Trail. The Message column supports filtering/searching on the message text string. A new quick filter button named “Rejected” displays in the top upper right portion of the Order Book, that when clicked applies a filter to only show rejected orders. Also as part of this work, in the Order Book Settings you can also customize the row color for rejected orders.

Display Settlement Date for NDFs and Spot FX 
  • We now display Settlement Date for NDFs and Spot FX in the appropriate grid widgets, e.g., OB, OFW, Fills, Audit Trail, etc.

The following is a guest post by Christopher Rodriguez, chief marketing and relationship management officer of Eris Exchange, and Geoffrey Sharp, Eris’ managing director and head of sales. Eris is a U.S. futures exchange that offers listed interest rate swap futures. Trading Technologies offers connectivity to Eris through both the TT® and X_TRADER® platforms.

Eris Fed FundsThe last 30 years of monetary policy have been dominated by control of short rates. But with an unprecedented buildup of central bank balance sheets since the global financial crisis, central banks now have another lever, and their impact on long rates cannot be ignored. Specifically, the Fed has started to signal a desire to reduce the size of its balance sheet, which could commence later this year. There is little doubt that we are in uncharted territory, with limited precedent or standard to follow, and this normalization needs to be balanced against the impact of further rate hikes and the recent apparent softening of U.S. economic data.

As the industry has been preparing for the implementation of MiFID II (Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II) in 2018, so too has Trading Technologies been working closely with our clients on planning and executing compliance solutions. Over the next few months, I will be sharing my thoughts and TT’s point of view on MiFID II and industry implications. We begin the first in a series of blog posts with what is MiFID, how did we get here and what does it all mean?

MiFID II is a consequential and reactionary financial regulation born from MiFID I and the same G20 Pittsburgh meeting in 2009 that instigated the blueprints of its older siblings, Dodd-Frank, EMIR, REITS and, recently, the seemingly stalled Regulation Automated Trading (Reg AT), post the 2008 financial crash.
