TT Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) Premium Order Type uses historical intraday volume patterns to create a trade schedule that aims minimizes market impact. The TT VWAP fills the parent order by submitting smaller child orders into the market volume based schedule. It attempts to blend child orders into the volume traded and not stand out as a large portion in any one period's volume.
Note: At this time, TT Premium Order Types are not available in the Prod-SIM environment.
Prior to using any TT Premium Order Type, your administrator must enable access by updating the settings at the user level in the User Account Permissions settings or at the account level using the Account Restrictions settings in Setup.
