The following improvements were made in the adapter for integration of the module with the automated back-office backQORT:

— transmission from backQORT of the information about bonds (basis types ‘ISDA 30E/360 (German 30/360)’, ‘ISDA 30/360’ and ‘EURO 30+/360’), the ‘Issue date’ parameter, coupons’ availability feature ‘HasCoupons’, and the indexability of the par value,

This improvement allows the Algorithmic trading module to be used both for OMS executions and for the work of other users who submit algorithmic orders directly when the limiting of algorithmic orders is on.
There is a possibility to transmit the feature of trade cancelation for the back-office backQORT — the ‘Setting flags’ form acquired the ‘Do not take into account in back office’ attribute. When this attribute is set, the transaction will be sent to backQORT in the ‘Deleted’ status.

— a trading calendar for an exchange instrument

The orders are now resubmitted to the trading system in the asynchronous mode without waiting for the response to a sent transaction.

QUIK Matching Engine — 3.2

The module works with a new type of instruments – ‘Digital certificates’.
It allows configuring price restrictions for instruments.
For instruments of the type ‘Securities’ and ‘Bonds’, it became possible to configure the type of complex financial product.
