December 2020 - What's New in Tamarac Trading

Platform Improvements & Performance Enhancements

As part of our ongoing effort to improve speed and reliability on the Tamarac Platform, we are continuing to make enhancements under the hood. This table highlights improvements we made since our last release: 

Improvement Made Type of Improvement

To bring you the most up-to-date and accurate pricing for securities, we greatly expanded our pricing sources. On the first day using the new sources, we filled in 48,934 prices that would have been missing before. With this enhancement, you'll notice more robust, complete pricing data for all types of securities, including fixed income and mortgage-backed securities, Treasury notes, CDs, and more.

Code/Database

Time is money. We're saving you both with an under-the-hood enhancement that, across all enterprises, increases the number of accounts rebalanced per second from 84 to 100. When you rebalance a large number of accounts, you'll notice that 12% improvement translates to significantly faster rebalances over time.

Code/Database

Intraday pricing gives you access to 15-minute delayed prices on the Tamarac platform. A firm can obtain this data a set number of times per month. Now your support team can see more details about those requests, including information about each request, which securities were included, what action caused the request, and which user triggered it. If you're hitting intraday pricing limits, your dedicated support team will be better equipped to help audit requests and provide insights into intraday pricing activity at your firm.

Several areas of the Tamarac platform were recently upgraded to enhance security.
