Setting Pre-Trade Price Controls
The price control features allow an administrator to configure how far from the market price a user may enter an order. Orders submitted outside the defined price band will be rejected.
This topic contains the following sections:
- Price Controls Overview
- Price Checking Overview
- Example: Static Price Range Control
- Example: Directional Price Range Control
- Enabling and Setting the Pre-trade Price Controls
Pre-trade price controls for account-based risk are set using the Price Reasonability parameters for Product Limits on the Account and Account Group windows. For a description of how the price check also works at the account-level, refer to Price Checking Overview
Price Controls Overview
The User Risk tab of the User profile contains the pre-trade price controls. To configure how far from the market price a user may enter an order (in ticks), check the Prevent orders that are more than X ticks from the market price checkbox and enter the number of ticks.
The administrator can set the number of ticks to a static range or a directional range by checking or unchecking the Apply into the market only checkbox:
- Static range (uncheck the option) - Buy and sell orders must be within the configured price band. Orders submitted outside the defined price band will be rejected in all TT order routing applications.
- Directional range (check the option) - Buy orders must be below the maximum price, and sell orders must be above the minimum price. Orders submitted outside the defined price band or will be rejected in all TT order routing applications.
These pre-trade price controls are also configurable on the New Product Limit window when configuring Accounts and Account Groups.
Price Checking Overview
The price check uses the last traded price as the market price, as long as it falls between the bid and ask. Otherwise, the price check uses the midpoint of the bid and ask. If the bid and ask are not both available, then the price check will use the first available price from the ask, bid, settlement, or close, in that order.
The price check is performed as follows:
- The price check is performed on all real orders, both new and changed, at the time the orders are executed.
- The price check is not performed on synthetic or parent orders.
- For exchange traded spreads and/or strategy orders, the price check is applied based on the spread/strategy price. If the order contains multiple legs, the check is applied to each individual leg.
- The price check does not apply to NYSE Liffe Block orders sent via X_Block.
- The price check applies to exchange prices only, not to implied price functionality.
- At the user-level, price checks are not applied to orders for options instruments.
Example: Static Price Range Control
In this example an administrator has configured a user with a price control of 4 ticks and has also specified that the range is not directional. If the current last traded price is 2.0, then the user will only be able to place an order that is above 0.0 (the low point of the price band) and below 4.0 (the high point of the price band). All other orders will be rejected by the software.
Static Price Range Example
Example: Directional Price Range Control
In this example an administrator has configured a user with a price control of 4 ticks and has also specified that the range is directional. If the current last traded price is 2.0, then the user will only be able to place a buy order that is below 4.0 (the high point of the price band) or a sell order that is above 0.0 (the low point of the price band). All other orders will be rejected by the software.
Directional Price Range Example
