General Testing Environment
Overview
We provide a GTE that allows users to connect and perform testing from 7:00 am to 9:30 pm ET, Monday through Friday.
Support will not be available on Canadian holidays. Before changes in functionality are deployed into our live Production environment, it will first be deployed into our GTE to give users an opportunity to test their connected application services. Please note if there aren’t any changes pending, our GTE environment will reflect the state of our live Production environment.
Order Entry
To test order entry capabilities, users will need to have enabled Trader IDs and order entry sessions. If you are not connected with us, please contact our Operations team at [email protected] to request any of our services.
Be advised that our GTE leverages live prices from our Production environment for the purposes of testing Order Protection Rule (OPR) compliance, order pricing, and price band thresholds. Call our Operations team if you would like to adjust a threshold for testing purposes.
New subscribers or vendors may be required to undergo certification testing in GTE, prior to being provided access to our Production environment. If you are an existing subscriber that intends to utilize a new vendor, please notify our Operations team to confirm whether certification testing will be required.
Market Data
Additionally, we offer GTE market data to users, which will reflect orders, trades, and market states that have been processed by our GTE trading engine. If you are interested in testing our market data please reach out to [email protected].
All network configuration details can be found be here.
If you have any questions or seek to use any of our GTE services do not hesitate to contact our Operations team by emailing [email protected].
