Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for quantifying temporal fairness on an electronic trading venue as a scalar value with unit time. The system may, for an instrument traded on the venue, construct some pluralities of time deltas associated with each pair of market participants in a plurality of such that are active on the instrument. The system may populate these pluralities of time deltas by determining the amount of time that elapses between when the first and second participant in a pair each send (or are sent) a similar message to (or from) the venue. Through analysis of these pluralities of time deltas the system may find two minimum values, fords and fmktdata, the sum of which may quantify temporal fairness for the instrument on the venue. The resultant sum may inform the value of a latency floor deployed for the instrument on the venue.

Abstract: Computer-readable media, systems and methods may improve performance efficiency of generating custom position data of multi-leg transactions. For example, a system may receive a request to generate a custom multi-leg transaction involving variable ratios that may be evaluated against historical data derived from electronically traded commodities. Responsive to the request, the system may execute a computational workflow that applies rules to parse encoded futures symbols of the multi-leg transaction, build timeseries for historical years based on the input and the historical data and generate a GUI portion that may be transmitted to the user device via the interface. In some examples, the system may use a classifier to identify time intervals that are similar to one another for purposes of a given multi-leg transaction. The classifier may include a rule-based classifier that applies decisioning rules or a machine-learning (ML) classifier that is trained using training datasets.

Abstract: A method and system that automatically or semi-automatically analyze documents and redact key elements of importance to potential purchasers of the documents. Potential purchasers, or others, are presented with versions of the document that more fully reflect the particular information contained in the document but which do not disclose critical key data points that are of most importance to the purchaser. Upon reviewing a redacted version of the subject document, the viewer may elect to purchase or otherwise obtain the original document or report with information un-redacted. Alternatively, viewers are able to selectively purchase, or otherwise obtain, portions of the document in an a la carte fashion. The invention provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to effect the selective election of information, such as recommendations, ratings, market share, graphical representations, tables, etc.

Abstract: Computer-readable media, systems and methods may improve security, authorization, and auditability of documents. For example, computer systems for serving documents may be improved to provide secure access and control through challenges that are validated with self-executing on-chain document license contracts that enforce entitlements that specify users and their authorized document actions. Such entitlements may be generated by the user who created the document. As such, a user may retain over authorizations and document actions that are permissible with respect to the document even after the user has transferred a copy of the document. Furthermore, the computer systems may be improved to write an on-chain audit log of document actions, providing an immutable record of the document actions.

Abstract: Within the financial-services industry, there are online centers that allow brokers to match sellers with buyers of financial instruments based on indications of interest. However, at least some of these centers are not only limited in the types of IOIs that they provide, but also in the ways they allow IOI viewers to leverage the collective IOIs of multiple entities for a given stock or financial instrument. Accordingly, the present inventors devised systems, methods, interfaces, and software that enhance the ability of such online centers, or more generally financial-information systems, to facilitate trades. One exemplary financial-information system provides an IOI which is associated with an indicator of an enhanced or heightened willingness of its issuer to actually complete a trade, thereby expediting identification of ready trading partners. Additional features include an enhanced IOI search based on desired price or quantity and a multiparty request-for-quote function.
