Abstract: System, method, and program products offer flexibility to the rather rigid way of trading in an electronic trading system. Orders for a tradeable object may typically get matched according to set terms and/or conditions at an electronic exchange. A trader may log onto the electronic exchange to trade the tradeable object, and may choose to display and trade the tradeable object according to a different set of terms and/or conditions. As such, the market data sent to the trader from the exchange is converted to a format according to the trader's selection, so that it may be presented to the trader in this format. Transaction messages sent to the exchange from the trader are converted to the format readable by the matching process, so that it can process the messages. Other features and advantages are described herein.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, concurrency related to rehypothecated allocations may be facilitated via pre-release locking of associated positions. In some embodiments, a request to release a collateral allocation may be obtained, where the collateral allocation is associated with (i) a rehypothecated position and (ii) a cloned position on a leg downstream of the rehypothecated position, and the cloned position is derived from the rehypothecated position. Based on the release request, one or more legs related to the collateral allocation may be traversed to locate and lock one or more positions on such related legs (e.g., including the cloned position of the downstream leg). Prior to release of the rehypothecated position, the cloned position of the downstream leg may be locked based on the release request. The release of the rehypothecated position may be performed to fulfill the release request in response to the cloned position of the downstream leg being locked.

Abstract: A routing system rapidly determines whether messages received by a data transaction processing system related to data objects in a computing system should be routed through or bypass integrity modules designed to detect and mitigate undesirable object conditions. The routing system may, in one embodiment, rely upon previous decisions made by the integrity modules. The routing system may also access data structures storing information about a current environment state to determine whether a message should be routed through the time consuming integrity modules. The routing system may additionally determine and specify which values associated with a message should be checked against integrity module logic.
