Hi Patrick,
a) How is this 30 day free trial any different compared to the free 10 min delayed demo account that I've been using?
b) Will the free 10 min delayed demo accounts continue to be available and if not will the algos that I've developed be erased without warning?
c) Is there a tentative release date for ADL to come out of "beta"?
d) Can you share any details on the new Analytics Block?
e) I've heard that the pre trade credit check will be stored with the algos,can you explain the difference in routing and it's positive effects on order execution latency between TT Web ADL and Legacy ADL?
f) Can the TT Algo " TT Bracket" be combined with or triggered by user constructed algos? If so is this a function of the yet to be released one algo triggering another?
a) How is this 30 day free trial any different compared to the free 10 min delayed demo account that I've been using?
>>> It is the same. If you wish to get a live demo you must have a relationship with a FCM. @mattz is active in this forum and may be able to assist you with that.
b) Will the free 10 min delayed demo accounts continue to be available and if not will the algos that I've developed be erased without warning?
>>> You need to create your own company in the TT system to easily transfer your demo logic to a live TT account. The 10 minute delayed data demo environment will still be available when you go live, however, your credentials will change and will not longer be associated with your demo credentials and logic created there. You may work with TT support or support with your FCM to move your algos in demo to live production. You'll need to act on this prior to creating a live account.
c) Is there a tentative release date for ADL to come out of "beta"?
>>> Yes. The beta tag will be removed from ADL in the next few weeks.
d) Can you share any details on the new Analytics Block?
>>> The ADL Analytics Block will not be released for a few months and there's not much to say about it. If you would like to build some of the functionality on your own, there are numerous sources for help doing that in our Community page.
e) I've heard that the pre trade credit check will be stored with the algos,can you explain the difference in routing and it's positive effects on order execution latency between TT Web ADL and Legacy ADL?
>>> Making the credit check in the algo itself saves a hop as the order does not need to route through risk. You've a more direct path to market which reduces latency.
f) Can the TT Algo " TT Bracket" be combined with or triggered by user constructed algos? If so is this a function of the yet to be released one algo triggering another?
>>> No, you may not link an algo to the TT Bracket order type. You are correct in that this requires "algos driving algos" functionality which will be released by the end of the year.

Quotes from the old TT thread, now redirected here.
@TradingTech and @mattz based upon these replies you seem to have a specific definition in mind when you talk about retail and professional traders. I'm curious what that definition actually is?
Personally I think of a professional trader as somebody who trades for a living, be that for an institution, prop shop or even for their own account and a retail trader as somebody who doesn't treat it as a career. The reason I ask is, under my definition, I think there are very few retail traders paying $1500/month or more for trading software, never mind high end collocation. As such I think your definition is probably different from mine?
@SMCJB I would be more than happy to discuss this with you, however this is a thread dedicated to TT questions and I would like to keep it as such. I am concerned that this kind of topic will attract many comments, and again I want to keep it "clean" for technical questions. If you create new thread, I would be more than happy to address it there. Thank you for your understanding.

@SMCJB Retail, as defined by the CFTC as well as FINRA, is a very broad group.
Retail Customer: A customer that does not qualify as an eligible contract participant under Section 1a(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 USC 1a(12). An individual with total assets that do not exceed $10 million, or $5 million if the individual is entering into an agreement, contract, or transaction to manage risk, would be considered a retail customer.

Actually its a "Trading Technologies / Patrick Rooney (Product Manager) - Ask Me Anything (AMA)" thread and I was specifically asking Pat (and you) a question. I moved it to this thread from the old TT thread for that reason and intentionally didn't add it one of the dozens of pro vs non-pro threads.
