Accessibility
TT gives you the freedom to view and trade the markets from virtually anywhere via desktop, browser, or smartphone apps. The new open architecture allows for a variety of front-end clients.

TT is powerful, yet easy to use. It only takes minutes to create your account using web-based risk and administration tools. There’s no software to download or install for you to begin trading so you can begin trading quickly.

MD Trader
Built for the aggressive professional trader, our patented industry-standard MD Trader ladder delivers maximum speed, reliability and ease of use for trading futures, options on futures, fixed income, energies, commodities and more.
The market-leading ladder
MD Trader is widely acknowledged as the industry-standard ladder for professional futures traders. It revolutionized futures trading 15 years ago when it launched in our first-generation X_TRADER® platform, and it’s evolved through the years to incorporate the most comprehensive array of features for aggressive click traders.
Powerful but easy to use
In MD Trader, market depth travels up and down the ladder to dynamically indicate market movement. It allows you to easily view prices, then quickly and accurately enter orders in a static vertical display.
With MD Trader, you can:
- Enter and cancel orders with a single click
- Choose from a range of popular synthetic order types including market, limit, iceberg, stop, cross and OCO
- Drag and drop working orders on the ladder to change prices
- Easily view depth of market, implied prices and volume, volume at price and more
- See all individual working orders at a price level, quickly change an order price or quantity, or delete a working order using the Floating Order Book

- Easily add a new MD Trader ladder to a workspace by clicking on the widget menu, or open a ladder seeded with the contract of your choice by searching for the contract in the title bar.
- Conserve screen real estate and trade multiple contracts in one instance of MD Trader by using tabs.

Automated Trading
We’ve re-imagined and re-engineered our market-leading Autospreader®, ADL® (Algo Design Lab), Autotrader™ and API tools to be everything you know—but with more flexibility and accessibility than ever before.
AUTOSPREADER
TT comes with pre-canned popular features, like inside smart quote, which you can easily tweak and enhance. You can also build your own features with the new Rule Builder.
ADL
TT supports all the popular ADL functionality from X_TRADER®, like the ability to drive Autospreader with ADL. But you get even more with TT, like the ability to drive one algo from another.
Autotrader
You can launch the market-making algo that’s the backbone of the Autotrader window in X_TRADER from the TT Algo Dashboard. You can also create links between the inputs and outputs of any algo.
New APIs
The new TT APIs result in the lowest latency and highest throughput ever available from any TT application programming interface. In fact the TT Software Development Kit (TTSDK™), a C/Linux-based API, delivers the highest level of performance and speed available in any TT API to date.
Performance
TT also dramatically enhances performance. All spreads and algos execute on servers in our private co-located data centers to deliver ultra-low-latency performance. Orders routed on our global, redundant, co-located infrastructure achieve levels of performance and reliability unlike anything before.
Portability
And with TT, all of your workspaces and algo configurations go where you go. You can create a spread or an algo using a laptop, deploy it from your office workstation and manage it from your phone. The experience is consistent no matter where you are and what device you use.
