Abstract: A method for trading financial instruments includes listing, by an electronic financial exchange, financial instruments that specify which version of a serialized index the financial instrument tracks; receiving, by the electronic financial exchange, an electronic indication to buy or sell the financial instrument; executing, by the electronic financial exchange, a trade involving the financial instrument; and settling the financial instrument according to the version of the serialized index specified by the financial instrument.

Abstract: Systems and methods for pricing financial instruments include constructing, via at least one computing device comprising one or more processors executing computer-executable instructions stored in memory, a virtual financial complex network comprising one or more interrelated financial markets. Market color data related to at least one of the financial markets is then blended with price data to determine blended pricing information. This blended pricing information is then used to define an objective function that when solved, via an optimization model, determines a minimum market price for each financial instrument across the one or more financial markets.

Abstract: Systems and methods of limiting price movement of a financial instrument include establishing, via an exchange server comprising at least one matching engine module, an interval price limit (IPL) period that defines a predetermined length of time commencing at a start time, and an IPL amount that defines a permissible increase or decrease in an anchor price of a financial instrument during the IPL period. Buy and sell orders received for the financial instrument during the IPL period are matched to generate at least one matched trade having a trade price. The trade price is compared to the anchor price, and if the trade price is within the IPL amount of the anchor price, the matching engine module executes the at least one matched trade. Otherwise, if it is not, the matching engine module is prevented from executing the matched trade.
