Abstract: A first price and first size of a published offer to sell shares of a security are determined, and a second price and second size of orders to sell shares of the security are determined. A third price and third size of orders to sell shares of the security are determined, wherein the second price is greater than the published offer and the third price is greater than the second price. A market order to buy shares of the security is received with a buy size greater than a sum of the first size and the second size. A first portion of the market order that is equal to the first size is executed at a first price, and a second portion of the market order is executed at the third price. The sum of the size of the first portion and the size of the second portion equals the buy size. Market orders to sell are handled in a similar fashion.

Abstract: A posting market center and process are disclosed for maintaining a market center-restricted order on a selected market center. The market center and process disclosed aggressively maintain a market center-restricted order that would normally lock or cross an away market by initially pricing the order a tick increment away from the contra side market best bid or offer and then dynamically re-pricing the order in increasing aggressiveness as the away market best bid or offer moves its quotes further away from the order's currently displayed price. The disclosed market center-restricted order stands its ground to an updated away market best bid or offer that moves to its price or through it.
