TT User Setup

TT User Setup is a free, client-server application used by administrators to configure traders for Universal Login which allows a trader to log in to multiple exchanges with a single username and password. TT User Setup versions 7.1 and later also replace the Guardian Admin screens for setting up pre-trade risk limits.

Benefits of TT User Setup

• Configure traders to trade on multiple exchanges with a single username and password
• Easily construct rules for password complexity, reuse, expiration and lockout
• Run multiple servers for high login availability with automatic data replication among servers
• Use “copy” and “assign” functionality to eliminate duplicate data entry and to quickly and accurately configure traders
• Limit the number of X_TRADER® workstations a trader can be logged in to; this helps control traders’ license consumption
• Monitor usernames and software versions of logged in users
• Avoid having to setup passwords in Windows User Manager/Active Directory

X_TRADER®/X_RISK® Integration

• Control X_TRADER customer defaults; provides control over which account numbers a trader can use per market, gateway, product type or product
• Control various X_TRADER properties such as “Avoid Orders that Cross”
• Configure administrative permissions for an X_RISK user

Versions 7.1 and Later

• Automatic upgrade from Guardian Risk
• Run multiple variations of reports and export them to a CSV file or HTML
• Easily sort and filter data; for example, start typing into a filter to reveal all users who are set up to trade a specific product
• Configure group administrators with rights to manage only specific groups of users, account numbers, exchange credentials and risk limits
• Configure an administrator who is only able to unlock traders and reset their passwords
• Configure a max long/short position limit to help risk-manage spread traders
• Run diagnostic checks to ensure that traders and accounts are set up properly
• Collect log files from remote machines in the environment
• View an audit trail that captures updates to traders and their risk, etc.

Mass Editing

Easily edit large amounts of data in mass; some useful examples include:

• Switch between X_TRADER and X_TRADER Pro for many traders at once
• Update a position limit for many traders at once
• Update a credit limit for many traders at once
• Add a new gateway to many users at once
• Add or remove multiple traders’ login access to a particular gateway

Planned for 2010

• Apply a user-level credit limit, as opposed to the credit limit that is per member/group/trader ID (this is useful for traders who trade with multiple IDs)
• Configure FIX Adapter clients and servers
• Limit the number of X_TRADER workstations that a group of traders can be logged in to
• Force traders to log on to specified gateways (force them to download their positions)
• Control which X_TRADER versions are allowed to log in
