The new TT platform takes automated trading to a new level. Of course if you follow @Trading_Tech on Twitter, you already know that because we’ve been previewing some of the standout functionality there at #PreviewTT.

In the new platform, we’ve re-imagined and re-engineered our market-leading Autospreader®, ADL® (Algo Design Lab), Autotrader™ and API tools to be everything you know—but with more flexibility and accessibility than ever before.

  • Autospreader: TT comes with pre-canned popular features, like inside smart quote, which you can easily tweak and enhance. You can also build your own features with the new Rule Builder.
  • ADL: TT supports all the popular ADL functionality from X_TRADER®, like the ability to drive Autospreader with ADL. But you get even more with TT, like the ability to drive one algo from another.
  • Autotrader: You can launch the market-making algo that’s the backbone of the Autotrader window in X_TRADER from the TT Algo Dashboard. You can also create links between the inputs and outputs of any algo.
  • New APIs: The new TT APIs result in the lowest latency and highest throughput ever available from any TT application programming interface. In fact the TT Software Development Kit (TT SDK), a C/Linux-based API, delivers the highest level of performance and speed available in any TT API to date. (For more, see #PreviewTT: Get a Taste of Our APIs.)

TT also dramatically enhances performance, with all spreads and algos executing on servers in our private co-located data centers to deliver ultra-low-latency performance.

And with TT, all of your workspaces and algo configurations are portable. You can create a spread or an algo using a laptop, deploy it from your office workstation and manage it from your phone. The experience is consistent no matter where you are and what device you use.

Next week marks the annual FIA Boca conference, and we’ll be there. Follow us starting Monday for a special edition of #PreviewTT. We’ll be talking about TT all week with customers, exchange partners and the media and assure you we’ll have lots to report.
