Back Office Bridge - User Manual - Trading Technologies

Fill Server, and the Capture and PublishOver the course of a trading session, a position is created when filled order notificationsare received from the connected exchange. These fills are sent out from the TT Gatewayfor distribution to the appropriate trader accounts. The positions are stored in a fill file,managed by the TT Gateway, and cycled at the end of the trading session. An X_TRADERclient logging into the gateway in the middle of a trading session gets a broadcast of thisfill file if fills exist. Therefore, a trading application may get all fills for a particular login atany time.Once Back Office Bridge is logged in using an administrator login, the count of all fills isheld in memory by the application. These fills are tallied based on the contract andaccount associated with each fill. It may take several minutes for Back Office Bridge‟s fillcount to be updated if there are a large number of fills in the fill file when Back OfficeBridge is opened. As such, it is best to start Back Office Bridge well before a Fill Server isscheduled to be shut down if it has not been running from the beginning of the tradingsession.The total number of fills, SODs, and DSODs that are held by Back Office Bridge will bedisplayed at the bottom left hand corner of the Main Window. Please note that since thisnumber also includes SODs and DSODs, it may not match the Fill Counter in otherapplications that only count fills.Scheduling Back Office Bridge and TT ChronTT Chron is a service scheduling program that will help the Administrator run and cycleBack Office Bridge.
