No, I am on SIM and I only used their SIM. I just know a friend who used it a lot on live until he movet to cryptos,both new TT and Xtrader, and he said that this one or Stellar is the best by far despite the price. It is amazingly easy to create all kind of order types in ADL. I am not a trading veteran but I havent seen anything like that before. I can imagine that it does give an edge for the bigger players.

So, do you use and/or recommend TT now?

Bob.

Do I use it? Yes been using it almost exclusively for about 15 years.

Would I recommend it? Depends what you need it for. It's a lot of product and it's expensive, so I doubt the average more retail orientated trader would need it, or be able to justify the cost of it. If your a professional though, and moving a lot of volume, and execution is a priority then yes very easy to recommend.

For me personally

• I use their "Algo Design Lab" ("ADL") which as far as I know has no comparison in the futures space.
• I trade on ICE's less known exchanges which most competitors do not offer/connect to.
• I'm a very heavy autospreader user.

While their are some competing autospreader products, I believe the only competitor that also connects to the ICE exchanges that I need is CQG and they are even more expensive than TT!

So for me at least, the only other option would be CQG, which has less functionality and costs more. If I were to eliminate ICE, that would change, but ICE is about 25-30% of my business so that's still important.

They had a 20 min ICE outage last week, where orders were left on the exchange with no way to cancel, so not completely resolved.

One of my most frustrating things about new TT vs XTrader, is lack of communication/information. As already mentioned XTrader had a lot more information in the audit trail about what was going on plusI would call my broker and they would tell me (remember it was broker specific hardware)

• what the problem is
• if I can bypass the problem how,
• if not what their eta is on fixing it and finally
• afterwards a recap of what went wrong, why and what they will do to make sure it won't happen again.

With new TT I get

• no information, just "engineers are looking at it", with no eta
• a promise of an explanation of what happened once they resolve it - which almost never happens
