Abstract: Consistent with the present invention, systems, computer programs, and methods are provided for anonymously negotiating and matching buy and sell orders in a fungible asset trading market. Furthermore, systems and methods consistent with the present invention may provide a time-sensitive trading environment that encourages participants to continue negotiations for an asset until a mutually acceptable price is reached by providing a participant with an incentive to continue submitting orders, such as information concerning the other side's ordering actions, as long as the participant continues to negotiate in a timely manner.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and programs consistent with the present invention use the trading price for a fungible asset established in a continuous auction market as the set price for a call auction for the asset that occurs some time after the continuous market trade that establishes the trading price. Interested participants may submit orders at the established price that will be matched with complementary orders, if any have been submitted, when the call auction occurs, and a trade will be executed.
