  • Patent number: 8732065
    Abstract: An electronic system and method to enable a market participant to identify potential trading counterparties while avoiding disadvantages associated with disclosure of the participant's trading intentions. In one embodiment, the system provides camouflage items that disguise the intent of a participant to trade an initial item. Camouflage items differ from the initial item but share with the initial item one or more attributes, e.g. a market, risk profile, price range, or other characteristic of the original item. Camouflage items are combined with the original item in a unified notification to prospective counterparties, so as to reduce the ability of the prospective counterparties to determine the trading intentions of the original participant.
