Critical Updates
Final Stunnel Certificate Pinning Notification
End of Q2
Starting after Q2 2026 TT will no longer be providing/updating the stunnel.zip file which customers might be using to perform certificate pinning. The final update to the stunnel.zip file happened on April 2, 2026 and is now available for download. The final certificate in the stunnel.zip file expires on Oct 17, 2026. Prior to Oct 17, 2026 TT will migrate the CA from Digicert to AWS and new certificates will be emplaced (this could happen as early in UAT as September 1, 2026). These certificates will have much shorter lifetimes and will be rotated more often (eventually every ~40 days).
This is driven by the CA/Browser Forum decision to reduce certificate lifetimes to 47 days. Given that lifetime it’s no longer viable to create a certificate, provide the updated stunnel.zip file to customers for integration, and then emplace the certificate onto our endpoints.
Only customers who download the stunnel.zip file from https://library.tradingtechnologies.com/tt-fix/general/stunnel.zip are impacted. Affected customers should start migrating to utilize their local machine’s certificate trust store. Digicert and AWS are both established Certificate Authorities and should be available in the trust stores of modern operating systems.
Updates to the Configuring client connectivity (https://library.tradingtechnologies.com/tt-fix/order-routing/configuring-client-connectivity.html) will be made in the coming weeks to account for this adjustment.
TTFIX.crt Update Notice
June 1
For customers whose FIX engine natively supports SSL encryption, or who have implemented FIX session encryption using STunnel, TT provides a TTFIX.crt file with the public certificates used by the TT platform FIX endpoint.
On 2026/04/03, TT updated the stunnel.zip file located in the Download Center in order to update the soon-to-be-expired certs in the TTFIX.crt bundle.
All TT customers who use STunnel must download the new zip file and apply it at any time before the new zip file update is applied in each TT environment, which will be:
- 2026/05/01 for UAT
- 2026/05/06 for SIM
- 2026/05/08 for Production – NY
- 2026/05/15 for Production – All Other Locations
- 2026/06/01 Previous Cert Expiration
Customers still using the old stunnel.zip file after the dates listed above will not be able to connect to the respective TT environments.
Added TT Platform STAR.TRADE.TT; valid from 2026/04/02 – 2026/10/17

Q4 2026
HKEX will introduce the below enhancements to their After Hours Trading (AHT) session in Q2 2026:
- Equity index derivative product coverage expansion for US and UK Holidays
- Currently, on Memorial Day (US) and Spring Bank Holiday (UK), in the AHT session on HKEX, only the Currency and Metals AHT products are enabled for trading. This will be modified to include all AHT eligible products for trading on these US/UK holidays.
- On Christmas day, currently, only the Currency products are eligible for AHT session. This will be modified to include all MSCI and Currency products for trading on Christmas day.

- Currently, the market break between the Day and AHT session is of 45 mins. HKEX plans to start the AHT session 15 mins earlier, by reducing the market break to 30 mins.
- Widening of AHT Price Limits
- Currently, the price limits on all futures contracts traded in the AHT session is + or – 5%, and orders outside these price limits are rejected.
- The stock index futures traded on HKEX will be categorized into 2 baskets – flagship and non-flagship futures. While the initial price limits will be set at + or – 5% for both, those for the flagship products will be subject to a quarterly review, and can be periodically modified by HKEX.
- Index Option – Trade Resumption
- For the options contracts that are halted due to HKEX’s Trade Halt Mechanism, trading will be automatically resumed based on a deterministic model built by HKEX.

LME : TVTIC mapping change
Q2 2026

At LME’s direction, TT will modify this logic for leg fills only, so that if the trade is based on an implied TT will use the LegAllocID (Tag 1366) published by LME to populate the field mapped to TVTIC. The TVTIC values used for the spread will not change.
