Post From: Short Interruption with TT Routing 2020-05-27 / TT Account Balance/Credit Data

Around 11 AM US Eastern time today, 2020-05-27, we had a 2.5 minute interruption with the Sierra Chart/ TT order routing service due to an apparent issue on the TT server. 2 of 6 servers were affected. Details are below:

Our tentative conclusion at this point, is that this was an issue with the TT FIX server. However, that still is yet to be determined.

Most importantly, you always have the web-based trading panel available that you can use and can easily switch to any server:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SierraChartOrderRoutingServiceWithData.php#WebBasedTradingPanel


There are several things we want to look into related to this and we have some logs from users. We want to make sure that Sierra Chart is automatically switching to the next server if it is unable to submit a new order, modify or cancel an order, due to the remote server not having a connection to the exchange. The order routing service does support this. And that there is no problem with passing through the server order ID immediately for a new order (Extremely unlikely there is a problem with this).

So we are doing a thorough review of everything related to this incident.

This is the log of the event from our Aurora order routing server:

This is the communication and information from our infrastructure provider regarding the crossconnect we have with TT:


I just looked at the interfaces and both interfaces are clean with no drops. So this tells me that this was a software issue rather then a network/hardware issue. You should really just write directly to the CME and bypass TT for order entry!


Here is the configuration of the ports:


show configuration interfaces ge-2/1/4

description "XConnect to TT - Cable ID: 129113.";

speed 1g;

no-flow-control;

}

unit 0 {

family ethernet-switching {

vlan {

members service-121-tt-primary;



show configuration interfaces ge-14/1/4

description "XConnect to TT - Cable ID: 129115.";
