Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for matching orders for a financial product. A first order for a financial product is received. The first order includes a preference for a first order book. An order processer selects a first hardware match processor based on the preference. A first hardware match processor attempts to match the first order with a previously received order in the first order book. A second order for the financial product is received. The second order includes a preference for a second order book. The order processor selects a second hardware match processor based on the preference. A second hardware match processor attempts to match the second order with a previously received order in the second order book. The first and second hardware match processors use different matching algorithms.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a mechanism for allowing concurrent access, e.g., write operations, to a data structure, e.g., a file, which may have limited capacity, by multiple processes or threads and, in particular, for allowing concurrent, or otherwise substantially simultaneously, appending of data to the file thereby. Each process/thread requests the amount of space it needs to append its data. Upon request, the disclosed mechanism allocates and reserves the requested amount of space and allows the requesting process/thread to commence its append operation. Subsequent to the commencement of the append operation, another thread is then free to request space for its needs and commence its append operation concurrently, or otherwise substantially simultaneously, with the previous append operation, i.e. before the prior append operation is completed.

Abstract: A processing module may be centralized and coupled to multiple inputs from customers, and behave deterministically, e.g., programmed to depend on state, inputs and outputs. The rapid speed of automated trading systems implementing such a centralized, deterministic module, where all users can access a central limit order object, can quickly result in an object state that does not reflect a true consensus or desirable state. Accordingly the resulting problem is a problem arising in computer systems due in part to the high speeds of computer systems. The solutions disclosed herein are, in one embodiment, implemented as automatic responses and actions by a computing system.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate generally to complex data stream control and entitlement. Specifically, the disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods for ensuring that only authenticated/verified participants receive data streams. A third party, e.g., a party other than the data provider or the data recipient, who is nevertheless associated with both the data provider and the data recipient, may be involved in controlling whether data streams from the data provider can reach the data recipient. Thus, a third party may logically sit between the data provider and the data recipient, and may decide whether the data recipient should receive data streams. The disclosed embodiments implement data generation, flow, control and permissioning between multiple entities via digital assets accessed and manipulated on a shared data structure.

Abstract: A system and a method automatically enable unconstrained inputs of data including a price that relate to a proposed new or modified trade orders between counterparties for submission to an electronic trading system that enforces constraints on the inputs relating to the proposed trades that can be submitted by the counterparties.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods calculation of an estimation solution for a constraint defined within a computation space. The apparatus may include a constraint computation controller. The constraint computation controller analyzes the plurality of data points and performs a projection of the plurality of data points to the constraint within the computation space and generates a dynamic adjustment for reducing a margin requirement consistent with the constraint.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to improving the efficiency of an electronic trading system for interest rate swaps (“IRS”) by allowing for IRS contracts to be funded in a base currency while the cash flows, e.g. coupon payments, price alignment interest, variation margin, are denominated in a local currency different from the base currency. Thereby cash flows may be netted and offset minimizing the magnitude of funds needed to be moved and reducing the number of transactions processed by the electronic trading system as well as the consumption of computational resources thereby. Furthermore, the disclosed embodiments facilitate entering into IRS transactions is a currency different from the currency of cash flows while eliminating Herstatt risk due to volatility of foreign exchange rates, which allows for increased off shore participation and thereby increased transaction volume.

Abstract: A data transaction processing system includes a quarantine system that delays messages configured to accept a delay before being processed by the data transaction processing system. During periods of heavy network traffic, the imposed delay reduces network congestion by distributing/load leveling messages according to available computing resources. Separating messages over time also reduces the processing latency of the data transaction processing system. Messages that are routed and delayed through the quarantine system may be executed at a better transactional value than other non-delayed messages.

Abstract: A computer implemented method is described for validation of a service. A graph data structure including a catalog layer with a service offering is statically analyzed. The method uses the static analysis to determine that a build exposing the service deviates from a pre-declared whitelist of dependencies. The method rejects insertion of the build into the graph data structure responsive to the determination in accord with a deny-by-default security posture.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for triangulation of options and futures. An exchange receives a volatility quoted order. The system attempts to match the order within a volatility order book. If there is a match, the system attempts to mitigate the risk of the order by implying an order into the futures market. If there is not a match, the system implies an order into a premium quoted option order book. The exchange automatically maintains the order based on changes in the underlying futures market and a stored quoting model.
