Upcoming changes:

  • Java 17 is now minimum supported version
  • SecurityFeedStatusMessage has been deprecated
  • RFQ FIX Gateway

1.14.170 - November 1st, 2024

  • Algorithm API change: starting from this release InstrumentUpdate messages will not have empty-valued custom attributes. Flag deltix.smd.decoder.keep.empty.attributes can be used to revert to old behavior.
  • OMS Debugger now can set breakpoints based on message sequence and order limit price and filter listed orders based on limit price.

1.14.169 - November 1st, 2024

  • Deprecated use of "REPLACED" Order State (which leaked in a few places as artifact of FIX version 4.2)

1.14.168 - October 22nd, 2024 ✅

  • Breaking API change: ExtendedInstrumentInfoFactory create method and EngineInstrumentInfo constructor now take an extra SecurityMetadataProvider parameter.
  • Custom ExtendedInstrumentFactory implementations would need to be modified to pass this SecurityMetadataProvider parameter to the custom EngineInstrumentInfo instances that they create.

1.14.167 - October 11th, 2024

  • FIX Market Data Gateway now supports Alternative Security IDs (ISIN, CUSIP, RIC, etc.) in Security List requests.

1.14.163 - September 16th, 2024 ✅

  • We are migrating the Ember Java API to require Java 17 as the minimum runtime version. While many client environments have already been running Java 17 for over a year, we would like to accelerate this migration. If you have implemented a custom trade connector or custom algorithm using the Ember Java API, please ensure you are using Java 17. If you have not yet migrated, you can refer to our GitHub samples for guidance on migrating a custom trade connector or custom algorithm.

  • Updated set of Ember docker containers (no longer publishing Java 11 containers):

    • deltix.docker/anvil/deltix-ember:<version> - Alpine OS + Amazon Corretto 17 (container running as non-root user 1666)
    • deltix.docker/anvil/deltix-ember:<version>-dev - Alpine OS + Amazon Corretto 17 (running as root user)
    • deltix.docker/anvil/deltix-ember:<version>-graalvm - Oracle Linux + GraalVM 17 (container running as non-root user 1666)
    • deltix.docker/anvil/deltix-ember:<version>-azul - CentOS + Zulu Prime 17 (container running as non-root user 1666)
    • deltix.docker/anvil/deltix-ember:<version>-azul_onload - Rocky Linux 8.9 + Zulu Prime 17 + Xilinx Onload driver (container running as non-root user 1666)

1.14.155 - August 30th, 2024 ✅

  • Going forward selected releases will have QA Certification stamp (✅). We plan to have this additional checkmark of release stability applied every two weeks.
  • TimeBase Data warehouse enhanced to support OAUTH2 TimeBase authentication method and simplified timebase configuration. It is no longer necessary to specify TimeBase connectivity in data warehouse configuration if warehouse is talking to the same TimeBase as Ember.
  • FIX Market Data Gateway was enhanced to allow limiting MBP order book depth (broadcasting less levels than in original incremental market data feed).
  • Breaking API change: Ember was upgraded to version 3.0 of Order Book library that provides feedback on each message processing. Signature of OrderBook.update(MarketMessageInfo) changed. Instead of boolean value it now returns enum ProcessingResult that provides additional details about order book state and result of message processing. If you feed order book directly, at minimum you may need to recompile your algorithm code to pickup the method signature change.
  • FIX Market Data Gateway was enhanced to support statistics in snapshot-only mode.
  • Enhanced Order Debugger with ability to walk back order replacement chains.

1.14.150 - August 8th, 2024

  • Ember has been certified with Rocky Linux (including latency benchmarks).

  • Important Configuration change: We revisited how market depth is controlled in FIX Market Data MarketGateway. New version provides more explicit configuration over depth of the market available from inbound market data, as well depth of market in outbound FIX.

    • maxLevelsToPublish - how many entries (price levels for MBP and orders for MBO) will be seen in outbound FIX. Previously default value of this parameter was 10. New default is unlimited.
    • maxInputLevels - new parameter that explicitly specify the number of levels in input market data stream. Can be set only if maxLevelsToPublish is also set. Can't have lower value than maxLevelsToPublish (normally should be exactly same or higher). For L2 feeds it corresponds to price levels. For L3 feeds it corresponds to individual quotes. The provided value is used mainly for configuration validation and in some cases may reduce memory usage.
  • FIX Gateways now mapping InstrumentType.INDEX to standard FIX SecurityType(167)=XLINKD. Previously INDEX support was only available in FIX Encoder and INDEX instruments were encoded as SecurityType(167)=CS (Common Stock). Use deltix.use.legacy.index.type setting to restore legacy behavior.

1.14.146 -July 31st, 2024

  • Enhanced ClickHouse Warehouse implementation to store timestamps with millisecond precision. After upgrade the user will need to back up and drop ClickHouse Warehouse tables to make sure they are recreated with the new field types.

1.14.119 - May 9th, 2024

  • Enhanced and more realistic version of FakeFeedAlgorithm has been released.
  • FIX Market Data Gateway change: compact order book mode now requires specifying order book depth of input feed using maxLevelsToPublish setting.

1.14.112 - May 1st, 2024

  • FIX Gateway now supports FIX 5.0 SP2.
  • FIX Gateway now supports OKTA authentication.
  • FIX Gateway now supports SecurityList API (first draft version).

1.14.111 - April 18th, 2024

  • FIX Drop Copy now supports FIX session initiator mode (connecting out).
  • FIX API Change: started using "MLEG" rather than custom "SYNT" to represent exchange-traded synthetic instrument type in SecurityType(167) tag. System setting deltix.use.legacy.synt.type=true preserves legacy tag value (SYNT).
  • FIX Market Data Gateway now supports custom security types. See Configuration Guide for details.
  • FIX Market Data Gateway introduced new monitoring metrics:
    • ConnectionsClosed - how many FIX clients were disconnected due to various reasons
    • Disconnect.BrokenConnections - how many disconnects happened due to broken socket IO
    • Disconnect.InboundQueueIsFull - how many clients disconnected due to inbound queue overflow
    • Disconnect.BackpressureOnSend - how many clients disconnected due to outbound queue overflow
    • Disconnect.SessionRequest - how many client disconnected due to FIX Session logic (e.g. normal LOGOUT)
    • Disconnect.ProtocolError - how many clients disconnected due to FIX protocol error

1.14.105 - April 8th, 2024

  • FIX Market Data Gateway now has better performance for large number of instruments (20000+) and incremental market data mode in general.
  • FIX Market Data Gateway introduced new performance metrics:
    • SubsWaitingForSnapshotAdded - Number of times when incremental subscriptions over all symbols started to wait for snapshot (because they are just subscribed or got affected by backpressure)
    • SubsWaitingForSnapshotRemoved - Number of times when incremental subscriptions over all symbols stopped to wait for snapshot (because the client unsubscribed or snapshot was sent)
    • SubsForcedToWait - Total number of events when a subscription got switched into "waiting for snapshot state" because of backpressure

1.14.99 - March 28th, 2024

  • Starting from this release Ember instantiates connectors, algorithms, and gateways in alphabetical order (previously order was platform dependent).
  • FIX Market Data Gateway now supports TradingSessionStatus messages (35=h).
  • FIX Order Entry Gateway now allows to pass custom FIX tags outside the 0-9999 range. Use maxCustomTag setting to override default value of 9999.

1.14.96 - March 19th, 2024

  • FIX Market Data Gateway now can broadcast market statistics to interested subscribers (where available in upstream feed). More details can be found in Ember Configuration Guide. The following example shows how to enable standard statistic in MDG settings:
        statisticsTypes: [OPENING_PRICE, TRADING_SESSION_HIGH_PRICE, TRADING_SESSION_LOW_PRICE, TRADE_VOLUME, OPEN_INTEREST, SETTLEMENT_PRICE]
        customStatisticTypes: [
          {originalType="CBOT:Previous_Close", entryType="e", valueTag=MDEntryPx},
          {originalType="CBOT:Turnover", entryType="x", valueTag=MDEntryPx},
          {originalType="CBOT:Trades", entryType="y", valueTag=MDEntrySize},
        ]

1.14.92 - February 28th, 2024

  • Latency tracer configuration change: instead of .latencyStatInterval use latencyTracer.statInterval. For example:
connectors.BINANCE.latencyTracer.statInterval = 15s

Alternatively, you can now customize complete set of latency tracer settings:

connectors.BINANCE.latencyTracer {
  statInterval = 15s
  maxExpectedLatency = 100ms
  maxErrorsToLog = 10
  ordersUseOriginalTimestamp= false
}
  • FIX API: Deprecated LastUpdateTime(779) in market data messages. This timestamp used to carry approximate (from cached clock reading) time when last market data message was received by MDG.

1.14.91 - February 21st, 2024

  • Internal tick-to-order latency tracing. Ember now has built-in tick-to-order latency tracing capabilities. See this article for more information.
  • API Change: MarketSupplier.ConnectionListener interface now has additional callback method onDataLoss(). This new error listener may notify algorithm that market data producer crashed. Currently, this kind of data loss only reported for a TimeBase topic.

1.14.85 - February 1st, 2024

  • FIX Market Data Gateway started to report original order size in tag MDEntrySize(271) when reporting entry DELETE. Previously MDEntrySize(271) was reported as zero during DELETE.
  • FIX Market Data Gateway now prevents client from subscribing for the same symbol more than once per connection (Use preventDuplicateSymbolSubscription flag to restore all behavior).
  • First beta version of internal tick-to-order latency tracer

1.14.70 - January 10th, 2024

  • Ember now supports OAUTH2 based authentication to TimeBase. More information can be found here.
  • This version requires TimeBase server version 5.6.60+ to be compatible with the following features:
    • Support for OAUTH2 based authentication of Ember into TimeBase server.
    • Support of nanosecond timestamp fields in TimeBase messages.
    • Extensions of TimeBase protocol to control per-topic Aeron term buffer size.

1.14.66 - December 23th, 2023

  • Added MaxDailyPositionLong and MaxDailyPositionShort risk limits for limiting the maximum allowed daily long and short positions.
  • FullOrderProcessor and Ember OMS now has better support for trade corrections and trade busts - previously completed orders can now be properly reactivated.
  • Reworked order status event handler in Ember OMS: from now on synthetic fill, cancel, etc. events are written into the journal. This way Drop Copy, DataWarehouses and Journal compactor will all see the same events as Ember algorithms. Synthetic event ids use "SYN:" prefix.
  • Algorithms can now subscribe to both topics and streams. See Config Guide for more information.

1.14.65 - December 7th, 2023

  • FIX Market Data Gateway now offers memory-optimized version of Level 2 Order book. Available for cases when each MDG instance rebroadcasts data from single exchange.
  • Ember Monitor's UI Redesign: Experience Enhanced Clarity and Usability. Our latest update brings a fresh, modern look with improved navigation.

1.14.63 - November 15th, 2023

  • New tool - Algorithm playback can be used to backtest ember algorithms.
  • FIX Market Data Gateway now uses faster Order Book library (e.g. for Level 3 Market data processing cost decreased by 5x, or by ~4 microseconds).
  • FIX Market Data Gateway configuration change: new optional parameter feedAggregationType replaces flag addExchangeId. Possible values:
    • NONE Default value, used to broadcast single market data source;
    • CONSOLIDATED (Consolidated view on the market from multiple exchanges, you can see individual exchange sizes);
    • AGGREGATED (Aggregated view of multiple exchanges, you can see combined size of each price level.).

1.14.62 - November 9th, 2023

  • Minor API change: Method ExclusiveTimer.execute() now takes EpochClock interface rather than current epoch time.

1.14.58 - October 12th, 2023

  • Fixed a bug in FIX Gateway Resend message handler
  • Added Ember container with Xilinx/Solarflare ONLOAD (TCP Bypass) deltix.docker/anvil/deltix-ember:<version>-onload. Running Ember using ONLOAD TCP Bypass significantly reduces network latency. ONLOAD is now recommended for all data center environments.

1.14.56 - October 4th, 2023

  • Algorithm subscription can now specify cursor performance mode using channelPerformance parameter:
algorithms {

  ALGO1 : ${template.algorithm.default} {
    factory = "deltix.ember.service.algorithm.samples.MyAlgoFactory"
    subscription {
      streams = ["COINBASE", "BINANCE"]         
      performance = LOW_LATENCY  # default is MIN_CPU_USAGE
    }
  }

Possible values are:

  • MIN_CPU_USAGE - Prefer to minimize CPU usage. Don't do anything extra to minimize latency (default mode).
  • LOW_LATENCY - Prefer to minimize latency at the expense of higher CPU usage (one CPU core per process).
  • LATENCY_CRITICAL - Focus on minimizing latency even if this means heavy load on CPU. Danger! Read Timebase cursor API before using.
  • HIGH_THROUGHPUT - Prefer to maximize messages throughput. For loopback connections IPC communication will be used.

1.14.45 - September 14th, 2023

  • FIX Market Data Gateway tuning (tracing timestamps, performance cost histograms)

1.14.38 - September 8th, 2023

  • Java 17 support: you can now run Ember under Java 17 that offers improved GC and JIT. Java 11 runtime environment is still supported.

  • Multiple docker image flavors: The following Ember images are available:

    • deltix.docker/anvil/deltix-ember:<version> - Alpine OS + Amazon Corretto 17 (running as non-root user)
    • deltix.docker/anvil/deltix-ember:<version>-corretto11 - Alpine OS + Amazon Corretto 11 (running as non-root user)
    • deltix.docker/anvil/deltix-ember:<version>-dev - Alpine OS + Amazon Corretto 17 (running as root user)
    • deltix.docker/anvil/deltix-ember:<version>-alpine17 - Alpine OS + Amazon Corretto 17 (non-root user)
    • deltix.docker/anvil/deltix-ember:<version>-azul - CentOS + Zulu Prime 11 (non-root user)
    • deltix.docker/anvil/deltix-ember:<version>-azul17 - CentOS + Zulu Prime 17 (non-root user)
    • deltix.docker/anvil/deltix-ember:<version>-temurin - Alpine OS + Eclipse Temurin 11 (non-root user)
    • deltix.docker/anvil/deltix-ember:<version>-graalvm17 - Oracle Linux + GraalVM 17 (non-root user)

    NOTE: as of now Ember user is responsible for obtaining Azul Zulu Prime platform and Oracle GraalVM licenses!

1.14.29 - September 6th, 2023

  • Added MaxAggressivePriceDifference risk limit that is limiting the % amount by which limit orders are allowed to cross the market

1.14.28 - September 5th, 2023

  • FIX API change: Switched to use InstrumentMessage.nanoTime as source of TransactTime(60) in Market Data messages. Previously we used .originalTimestamp (if provided). Waiting for nano epoch time support for original timestamp to revert this change. Current behavior is fine for Matching Engine produced feeds, but not so good for re-broadcasting market data collected by Aggregator.

1.14.24 - August 29nd, 2023

  • Batching Connector - wrapper for trading connectors that work better when large set of orders (1000s) are submitted using single batch (OrderListRequest)
  • Major enhancement: Support for nanosecond resolution in timestamps and Nanosecond-level clock.
    • New API: ApiMessage.timestamp and OrderEvent.originalTimestamp fields now support nanosecond resolution
    • New API: EpochClock now has timeNs() that returns number of nanoseconds since beginning of Epoch
    • FIX Engine Java API change: Session, MessagePacker, MessageLog, and MessageStore were converted to use nano-based epoch time.
    • Breaking API changes:
      • CachedEpochClock constructor now takes epoch time in nanoseconds,
    • API Change: OrderRequest.originalTimestamp was added to capture user-provided request timestamp. OrderEntryRequest.timestamp will be used to mark order arrival time (e.g. into Ember FIX Order Entry gateway). This is similar to TimeBase timestamping and what Ember API had for OrderEvent.
    • API changes:
      • Journal migrated to nanosecond format of timestamps
      • Internal Ember Monitor backend API switched to textual representation of timestamps (ISO format, with nanoseconds, yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.SSSSSSSSSZ) rather than using numeric timestamps (epoch time in nanoseconds doesn't fit into Javascript number data type)
    • Limitations: Some data warehouses still use millisecond-level timestamps: TimeBase, SQL-based, Clickhouse.

1.12.56 - August 1st, 2023

  • Enhanced FIX gateway to handle outbound messages larger than 32K bytes
  • Algorithm API: added ability to override OrderEntry initialization from OrderNewRequest and OrderReplaceRequest
  • Stabilized telemetry / ember counters tracking in Ember Monitor
  • Fixed how Ember algorithms handle instruments that have dot in their symbol name.

1.14.23 - July 28th, 2023

  • NIAGARA Matching Engine: implemented ability to limit market data depth. Deeper orders may disappear and resurface in market feed as order book changes.

1.14.21 - July 19th, 2023

  • Enhanced SOR to provide human-readable exchange problems when execution plan cannot be build

1.12.54 - July 19th, 2023

  • FIX Gateway now support CIDR whitelisting for FIX client source IPs range.
  • Added OrderReplaceFrequencyLimit
  • 7x Improvement of reload speed for some client journals (issue #1334). Duplicate trade checking has been disabled for algo orders, and algorithms. OMS is still checking for duplicate trades that may be reported for DMA orders.
  • Added openBuy and openSell size fields to Position API.

1.14.17 - June 5th, 2023

  • Optimized order-book memory footprint in Market Data Gateway
  • Switched to github version of GFLog

1.12.41 - June 5th, 2023

  • Newer version of Trade Calendar and QuoteFlow libraries
  • Ember Monitor memory optimizations
  • Enhancements to FSRA connector
  • FIX MDG: Topic-based market data gateways no longer need to explicitly specify list of symbols to broadcast

1.12.38 - May 2, 2023

  • Added minPriceUpdateInterval(6036) parameter to TWAP/VWAP algos.

1.14.14 - April 20, 2023

  • Fix Market Data Gateway supports incremental format in DAC mode (Per-order Data Access Control mode).
  • Breaking change in S3 schema: Fixed spelling of order CommissionCurrency attribute output by S3 warehouse with JSON order data records. In previous versions this attribute was spelled ComissionCurrency. This change will only affect any code reading orders. The same messages attribute was spelled correctly and did not change.
  • MMSIM algorithm that simulate market maker liquidity provider and can be used to animate matching engine in UAT
  • Algorithm API: Added InputPollerBuilder API to AlgorithmContext. Marked existing AlgorithmContext.createPoller() method as deprecated. Examples how to migrate: Deprecated API:
    context.createInputPoller(settings.getSessionsStreamKey(),
                  System.currentTimeMillis(), new SelectionOptions(false, true), types, null, sessionsPollerCallback)
    New API:
    context.createInputPollerBuilder(settings.getSessionsStreamKey())
                          .withInitialTime(System.currentTimeMillis())
                          .with(new SelectionOptions(false, true))
                          .withTypes(types)
                          .build(sessionsPollerCallback)
    Since current time and live/bound-codec is default anyway this can be shortened to:
    context.createInputPollerBuilder(settings.getSessionsStreamKey())
                          .withTypes(types)
                          .build(sessionsPollerCallback)

1.12.40 - May 2, 2023

  • Added support for custom attribute 6036 with min price update interval to TWAP and VWAP. This attribute can be used to limit frequency of order updates during price chasing.

1.12.37 - April 27, 2023

  • Added new risk rule: MaxDailyNotionalValue, for limiting daily notional value of orders.

1.12.35 - April 20, 2023

  • Fix Market Data Gateway supports incremental format in DAC mode (Per-order Data Access Control mode).
  • Added support for journal import from S3 Warehouse

1.12.34 - April 9th, 2023

  • FIX Order Entry Gateway can be configured to pass custom set of FIX tags from inbound FIX message as custom attributes in normalized OrderRequest message. Until this release FIX Gateway passed tags Text(80), ExecInst(18), ClOrdLinkID(583), ContingencyType(1385), and any tag in range 6000-8999. Set of processed custom tags can be customized via customAttributesSet setting:
     gateways {
       trade {
         ORDERENTRY {
           settings {
             ...
             customAttributesSet: "80,1024,6000-8999"
             ...
           }
         }
       }  
     }
    Breaking config change: Starting from this release, default set of custom attributes is 18,6000-8999.
    • If your FIX clients send you complex orders (e.g. bracket orders), make sure to include tags 583 and 1385 to customAttributesSet (this will cover ClOrdLinkID and ContingencyType complex order parameters).
    • If you need to pass value of Text(80) tag supplied in FIX order message, add tag 80 to customAttributesSet list.

1.14.13 - April 4th, 2023

  • Journal Importer toolset provides ability to restore Ember journal from data warehouse. More information can be found here.
  • NIAGARA Matching Engine has been redesigned to use Adaptive Radix Tree (inspired by exchange-core project). Algorithm has been optimized to produce Level 3 market data. You may need to delete output stream if you were running previous version of NIAGARA matching engine (to let it reformat as L3).
  • Added mass-cancel command to ember-console tool.

1.14.12 - March 27th, 2023

  • TWAP, VWAP, PVOL, and ICEBERG execution algorithms now supports per-exchange security metadata attributes when TWAP order target single exchange.
  • TWAP and VWAP now support price offset parameter
  • API: added ability to customize RecordClassDescriptor of output channel, this allows algorithms like NIAGARA to write only meaningful fields to output feed.

1.12.18 - February 28th, 2023

  • Implemented daily trading activity reporting service that emails internal market participants their daily trading stats (matching engine use case).
  • FIX Market Data Gateway now supports Data Access Control (DAC) mode when each quote in L3 Order Book is checked for visibility.
  • Fixed memory allocation in cancel request handler.
  • Fixed a bug in algorithm re-subscription logic.
  • Position Engine became more resilient to missing instrument metadata on Ember restart.
  • Enhanced FSRA Connector to comply with FSRA specification.
  • Bugfixes in PVOL algorithm.

1.12.17 - February 20th, 2023

  • API change: Risk and Positions API started enforcing ASCII-only values for attributes that participate in position projections.
  • API change: AbstractAlgorithmBase no longer implements MarketSupplier.ConnectionListener interface. Please note: algorithm market data subscription logic still have auto-reconnection capability. This also true for custom TimeBase input and output channels constructed via AlgorithmContext.

If you want your algorithm to receive notifications about TimeBase disconnect please do the following.

  1. Add implements MarketSupplier.ConnectionListener to you Algorithm class declaration
  2. Call the following code in algorithm constructor:
        if (marketDataProcessor != null && context.getMarketSupplier() != null)
            context.getMarketSupplier().addConnectionListener(this);
  1. Implement onConnected() and onDisconnected() TimeBase callbacks in your algorithm.
  • API change: algorithms that rely on dynamic market data subscription must recover from TimeBase disconnects. Dynamic subscription API is exposed via AlgorithmContext.getMarketSubscription(). Please refer to Algorithm Developer Guide for more information on TimeBase connection recovery.
  • Made OMS Position processor more resilient to handle missing instruments information after restart.

1.14.10 - January 25th, 2023

1.12.11 - January 23th, 2023

  • Added MaxLoss risk limit that halts trading when P&L goes below configured threshold.
  • Added MinDuplicateInterval risk limit that prevents repeated submission of similar orders.

1.12.10 - January 17th, 2023

  • Fixed a bug that was preventing proper detection of missing required parameters in ember.conf. Fixed code is strict about required parameters, you may have to recheck your config on upgrade to this version.

1.14.0 - January 7, 2022

This release brings Java 11 and Timebase 5.6 changes to Ember.

  • Ember now requires Java 11 as minimum compile/runtime Java version.

  • Ember migrated to newer Timebase.Api.Messages 5.6 that contains a number of breaking changes:

    • CurrencyUpdate.inverseQuoted of type Byte, now is called GenericInstrument.inverseContract of boolean data type
      • InstrumentUpdate (common for all instrument types) got the following new fields:
        • minOrderSize and minOrderSizeCurrency
        • minNotional and minOrderNotionalCurrency
        • tick (now called priceIncrement)
        • orderSizePrecision (now called sizeIncrement)
        • makerCommission, takerCommission and commissionCurrency
      • FutureUpdate got new fields:
        • baseCurrency
        • inverseContract and quantoContract
        • settlementIndex and settlementCurrency
    • BookResetEntry.side has been deprecated, now BookResetEntry resets both sides of order book.
    • Option instrument attribute strikePrice changed their data type from Double to Decimal64. If you work with Options please convert your journal using journal-transform tool. Transformation function: 
      var transform = function(message) {
        if (message instanceof Packages.deltix.ember.message.smd.OptionUpdate) 
          return null; // exclude it
        else
          return message;
      }

  • As a consequence of previous change Ember no longer deals with currency codes in ISO format (circa 2010 way of represeting currencies in Deltix).

  • Migrated to newer version of QuoteFlow (3.8) and RTMath containers. Breaking API change:

    • Replace import rtmath.containers... with import deltix.containers...

  • Migrated to github version of GFLog. Breaking API change:

    • If you import GFLog directly in your Gradle project dependencies, replace deltix:deltix-gflog-api:2.1.12 with com.epam.deltix:gflog-api:3.0.3.
    • Replace deltix.gflog. => import com.epam.deltix.gflog.api..
    • Replace deltix.gflog.appender.* => com.epam.deltix.gflog.core.appender.* (don't forget $EMBER_HOME/gflog.xml files).

  • Faster Order Book component deltix.common.orderbook.OrderBook (it uses significantly less memory). See documentation on our github mirror here.

  • Breaking API change: AbstractL2TradingAlgorithm was switched from QuoteFlow FullOrderBook to new faster OrderBook component.

  • Journal format change: BondUpdate, SyntheticUpdate

  • Central Security Master updated to 2.X

  • deltix.securitymaster.messages.BitmaxCurrency was renamed to .AscendexCurrency

  • Algorithm API: Removed long deprecated method AlgorithmContext.getTerm(). Use NodeStatusChange event if you still need journal term.

  • Algorithm API: TimebaseUtil.introspect() method migrated to deltix.ember.timebase.util.TimebaseUtil.

1.11.31 - October 3rd, 2022

  • Implemented FSRA (Financial Services Regulatory Authority) connector as a powerful alternative to Drop Copy Service.
  • FIX Market Data Gateway now supports incremental market data format. We recommend this to new clients who have smaller number of FIX market data subscribers who care about market data latency. Up until now FIX market data gateway only distributed periodic snapshots (with configurable period, default was 50 millis). See corresponding sections in FIX Protocol RoE, FIX Gateway Administrator Guide and Configuration Manual. 
  marketdata: {
    MD1 : ${template.gateway.marketdata.incremental} {
      settings {
        host: "0.0.0.0"
        streams: "COINBASE"
        expectedMaxBookLevels = 150
      }
    }
  }

  • FIX Market Data Gateway: Breaking change - from now on trades are reported using 35=X (incremental refresh), rather than 35=W (snapshot) FIX messages. If you want to preserve existing FIX format, compatibility option incrementalMode can be used to preserve pre-existing behavior.

  • Algorithm API: algorithms now can receive position report messages. If your algorithm implementation does not use one of Ember algorithm implementations, you may need to add dummy handler of position reports to your algo: 

    @Override
    public void onPositionReport(PositionReport response) {

    }

Tag algorithm factory with @PositionTracker annotation to enable routing of position messages to your algo.

  • Switched all Drop Copy services to use File-backed message store (#1129)

1.12.0 - November 18 2022

  • Journal format change:
    • Bond instrument attributes coupon, redemptionValue, parAmount changed their data type from Double to Decimal64
    • Synthetic instrument got rootSymbol attribute.

  • Kafka Data Warehouse: ember can now stream messages and orders into Kafka
  • TimeBase Data Warehouse change: message timestamps no longer reflect "when message was stored in TimeBase". Instead, Ember tries to store "when it happened" timestamp. However, since TimeBase requires strict chronological order of timestamps, data warehouse will override timestamp of messages that attempt to store "past" timestamps.

1.11.12 - August 1st, 2022

  • Better support for Inverse Future contracts (this time covering P&L and Market Value)
  • Configuration change: decimalPricePrecision and decimalQuantityPrecision parameters of Ember Monitor replace decimalPrecision ($EMBER_HOME/application.yaml).

There are no breaking API changes for algorithms/connectors/journal format in this release.

  • Enhanced Ember cluster mode to support late join. This enables rolling updates and on-the-fly cluster repair.
  • Breaking Cluster Change: If you coordinated Ember cluster using Apache Zookeeper you need to re-create cluster configuration in Zookeeper using cluster-cli tool.
  • Breaking Config Change: Making full order validation mandatory for all production setups. Clients can no longer use MinimalOrderRequestValidatorFactory as it was unable to detect some frequent problems with order requests. If your ember configuration references MinimalOrderRequestValidatorFactory you need to remove it (and hence switch to default validation):

engine.validation = null # <-- REMOVE

engine {
  ...
  validation { # <-- REMOVE THIS BLOCK 
    factory = "deltix.ember.service.valid.MinimalOrderRequestValidatorFactory"
    ..
  } # <-- REMOVE DOWN TO HERE
}

       maxOrderRequestTimeDifference: 45s
      }
    ...

1.10.31 - May 17, 2022

  • Fixed regression with processing of legacy currency codes (e.g. 741 for BTC). Now these old Security Metadata streams are supported again, with a warning.

1.6.33 - January 30th, 2020

  • Enhanced Aglo Testing framework to detect improper (unsafe) references to CharSequence objects
  • Fixed CharSequence mix-up problem in SOR Algorithm

  • Ember will look for "currencies" stream containing Currency Message (from standard timebase api messages). If no such stream is found, we will use CurrencyCodesList.xml (as before).
  • No longer using deprecated ISO code 741 for BTC (XBT). Algorithm API: removed deprecated method that provided ISO currency code.
  • Deprecated class CurrencyCodec and usage of CurrencyCodeList

1.6.27 - December 5th

  • Fix for QuoteFlow Matching Engine symbol mix-up problem

1.6.26 - December 4th

  • Algorithm API: changed input channel related methods in AlgorithmContext.
  • Introduced configurable limit on maximum number of pending cancel-replace requests for any order. Controlled by maxPendingReplaceCount engine validation parameter. Default is 10. Note that you can still have very large cancel replace chains (tens of thousands), just make sure you don't amend orders significantly faster than exchange accepts them.
  • Added support for IntervalVariance (6027) parameter for TWAP, VWAP and PVOL orders. IntervalVariance is an optional attribute that randomizes time interval between algorithm child orders.
  • Added support for QuantityVariance (6028) parameter for TWAP orders. QauntityVariance is an optional attribute that randomizes quantities of TWAP child orders.
  • Added k8s-like restart strategy to Warehouse App. You can configure it if required:
warehouse {
  sample-unit {
    restartStrategy {
      policy = ON_FAILURE # ALWAYS, NEVER

      period {
        min = 15s
        max = 5m
      }
    }
  }
}

the default is retrying with exponential back-off delay to restart streaming data if some errors occur such as: disconnect and etc.

1.6.25 - November 27

  • Ember now passes Clean Dependency check. Nighly builds check for dependency volunerabilities in OWASP database.

  • Ember Monitor migrated to new version of Spring framework. JVM configuraiton property that defines location of custom application.yml spring.config.location has been replaced by spring.config.additional-location.

  • Configuration of Ember OMS validation has been changed. Custom validation strategies are now supported, however previously defined parameters need to be moved under settings { ... } block. Ember will abort startup if legacy configuration settings are overriden.

engine {
  validation {
    allowCancelOfFinalOrders = false 
  }
}

Needs to be converted to:

engine {
  validation {
    settings { 
      allowCancelOfFinalOrders = false 
    }
  }
}

For applications like SlowFIX gateway it is recommended to perform only minimal amount of validations. This can be done by switching to "minimal" validation set of checks like shown below:

engine {
  validation {
    factory = "deltix.ember.service.valid.MinimalOrderRequestValidatorFactory"
    settings {
    }
  }
}

1.6.21 - November 6

    risk {
      // names of standard limits live in class LimitDefinitions
      riskTables: {
        Source/Account/Symbol: [MaxOrderSize,MaxPositionLong,MaxPositionShort]
        Exchange: [MaxRejectFrequency]
      }
      rejectUnmatchedOrders: true
      allowUndefined: [Account, Exchange]

0.10.0: January 8th, 2019

  • First version of Risk and Positions API and GUI
  • Breaking change: ember risk and position tracking logic now requires some sort of market data. Engine needs to estimate effect of Market orders and perform order size conversion for contra-currency orders. Use 'pricing' section of ember.conf to define source of market data. Please note that here ES needs approximate (possibly delayed) prices. When real market data comes from several sources you may consider using just one reliable source. If market data is high frequency source you may consider feeding Ember with low frequency aggregated data (e.g. BBO or bars). The following configuration block defines pricing service:
pricing {
  settings {
    liveSubscription.streams = ["bbo"]
    historicalDepth = 1h
  }
}

Developers may use stubs like this to fake market prices:

pricing {
  factory = "deltix.ember.app.price.FakePricingServiceFactory"
  settings {
    fixedPrices: {
      BTCUSD : 3909.70
      ETHUSD : 133
      LTCUSD : 31.899
      LTCBTC : 0.008148
      BCHUSD : 170.27
      BCHBTC : 0.046
      ETHBTC : 0.034045
      XRPUSD : 0.39287
    }
  }

}

dependencyManagement {
    imports {
        mavenBom 'deltix:deltix-ember-bom:0.9.1'
