Could you please be more specific? Patents expire after a certain amount of time. I don't know what you mean by saying that the key areas "are not up for review for several years". I'm asking about patents that already exist and not about future patents that you guys may try to apply for or about any provisional patents that have not currently been decided on.
How about this, when does the last of the current patents for TT's static DOM expire, since there are multiple patents in play?
I use x_trader and have done for the last 5 years.
I've had a look at the demo of the new TT platform and there's some basic features that I have outlined below that don't appear to be present. Is this because you deemed them not necessary or are there plans for them to be implemented?
1. MD trader recentering - not able to create recenter groups, or globally recenter with double click.
2. Doesn't appear to display p&l in ticks in fill window.
3. No default orders. So after entering a stop order it doesn't automatically revert back to limit order.
4. No way to change the order quantity buttons in MD trader (1,5,10,50,100). This seems strange as I can't imagine someone using the 100 will also be using the 1 and 5, and vice versa.
Hello @jules190 and thank you for the question. You are correct. Those features are not yet in the TT platform. We do not have a target date for when they will be added.
