Publication number: 20150039489Abstract: A computerized trading system having a plurality of independent trading environments for trading quotes relating to financial instruments received from quoting firms. A multicast data bus provides communication between a matching engine, a plurality of edge applications operating in each independent trading environment, and an order gateway which is common to the plurality of independent trading environments. Quotes are received from the quoting firms at the respective quote interface applications. The quotes are placed in the respective assigned areas of the shared memory. The matching engine matches the received quotes by polling and processing each area of the shared memory. The matching engine, upon completion of polling all areas of the shared memory, checks a port of the multicast data bus to receive messages transmitted by the edge applications and to receive incoming orders for financial instruments from the order gateway.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2014Publication date: February 5, 2015Applicant: Miami International Securities Exchange, LLCInventors: Matthew ROTELLA, David BLACKMAN, Oleksandr BREZITSKYY, Paul FOST, Bharat KARIA, Anatoly KHUSID, David LEHMANN, Matthew MINTEL, Kevin MUELLER, Vinay Rao, Douglas SCHAFER, lIya SHNAYDER, Muna TANG

Patent number: 8874479Abstract: A method is provided for testing a trading system having a verification subsystem and trading environments. Each of the environments has a network interface, memory, and a matching engine executed by a processor. The method includes retrieving, by the verification subsystem, at least one defined use case. Each defined use case includes command lines. The method also includes parsing the command lines based on defined parsing rules to produce parsed command lines. Each parsed command line includes a verb specifying financial transactions. Each parsed command line also includes data fields. The method further includes mapping the verb and fields of each command line based on defined mapping relationships to generate a test case. The method also includes executing the test case to generate messages to be executed by the trading system. The method also includes reading parameters of the trading system for comparison to specified validation values.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2013Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Miami International Securities Exchange, LLCInventors: Kevin Mueller, Paul Fost, Marc Hampshire, David Seidman, David Lehmann, Amy Neiley, Vinay Rao, Greg Miller, Ganesh Chittimalla, Matthew Rotella, Douglas Schafer, Srinivas Nimma, Robert Straub, Muna Tang
