Important Notes

  • Algo SE 7.17.37 includes enhancements necessary to comply with Eurex Algo Labeling Requirements.
  • The Stopwatch Block has been re-designed for greater flexibility and efficiency. If a strategy contains a previous version of the Stopwatch Block, you must replace it with a newer version of the block provided in X_TRADER® 7.17 (or higher). Please refer to Updating the ADL Stopwatch Block for important details.
  • Algo SE 7.17 has been enhanced to support the ability to select Broker (in MultiBroker mode), Customer Default, and Order Gateway for each Instrument Block present in an algo. If you log into multiple flavors of a Gateway, you will need to specify the Gateway of your choice for some Instrument Blocks on your algo templates and re-save them.

    Fixes

    Known Issues

    1. General
      1. Due to timing issues, an algo can occasionally pause unexpectedly when the "Avoid orders that cross" option is enabled with the "Cancel resting" option. For example, suppose that an Algo X attempts to place a child order that crosses another child order of Algo Y. The AOTC check will be triggered, and a delete request will be issued for the resting child order of Algo Y. At this exact moment, if Algo Y happens to submit another delete request for its child order, that delete request will be considered redundant and rejected. As a result, Algo Y will pause. (Ref 201237)

      1. If the algo is using a MEFF contract, please note the following: When the MEFF contract closes, there is a brief transitional time (about 5-10 minutes) between the close and the closing auction where state of the contract is unknown. During this transitional time between the two states, MEFF will delete all child orders but the algo will continue running. The deletes for the child orders will be regarded as an external modification, and the respective Order Blocks will become dormant. Once the market state finally changes to closing auction, the algo will be paused. (Ref 224751)

    3. ADL
      1. In MultiBroker mode, when running an algorithm from the ADL Designer Canvas in TT SIM mode, Broker selection may be incorrect. Note that the Broker is determined by using the "Customer" drop-down menu located at the upper portion of the ADL Designer Canvas. (Ref 211612)
