Abstract: Message processing is described, in which each of first and second computer systems have a message operator configured to process messages to manage a data structure having a state determined via the processing. The message operator of the first computer system is configured to reroute unprocessed messages to the message operator of the second computer system such that the message operator of the second computer system establishes an order of an input message stream and a current state of the data structure arising from the input message stream. The message operator of the second computer system is configured to, once the current state is established, send the messages of the input message stream to the message operator of the first computer system in accordance with the established order such that the current state of data structure is recreated by the message operator of the first computer system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling use of a credit pool in connection with electronic trading in a plurality of product groups via a set of match engines are described. Credit data indicative of a current magnitude of the credit pool is obtained. A plurality of allocations of the credit pool are determined, based on the credit pool, across the plurality of product groups. For each allocation of the plurality of allocations, allocation data indicative of the allocation is provided to a respective credit controller of a set of credit controllers. The respective credit controller is disposed at a respective match engine to which a respective product group of the plurality of product groups is assigned. The use of the credit pool for an incoming order in a respective product group is thus limited in accordance with the allocation data provided to the credit controller at the respective match engine.

Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods relate to allowing trading of over the counter (“OTC”) foreign exchange (“FX”) contracts on a centralized matching and clearing mechanism, such as that of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's (“CME”'s) futures exchange system (the “Exchange”). The disclosed systems and methods allow for anonymous transactions, centralized clearing, efficient settlement and the provision of risk management/credit screening mechanisms to lower risk, reduce transaction costs and improve the liquidity in the FX market place. In particular, the disclosed embodiments increase speed of execution facilitating growing demand for algorithmic trading, increased price transparency, lower cost of trading, customer to customer trading, and automated asset allocations, recurring trades as well as clearing and settlement efficiencies.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for message transmission timing optimization. The system receives a large market disrupting transaction and provides a transaction placement strategy that splits up the transaction to maximizes favorable execution value and minimizes time required to execute the entire transaction.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to implementation, such as by a message processing system architecture, of a message handling system and/or protocol which mitigates optimistic messaging behavior. As used herein optimistic messaging behavior may at least refer to the transmission, in whole or in part, of a message, or of one or more messages of a sequence thereof, to a receiving system, such as the system implemented by the disclosed embodiments, prior to the sender determining that the message(s) is/are desired, alone or in conjunction with subsequently canceling or otherwise invalidating the message(s) once it has been determined that it is not desired. The disclosed embodiments mitigate such behavior by detecting and taking action with respect to these types of messages to deter optimizing behavior which may or may not be manipulative, while maintaining reliable message handling under increasing processing loads with minimal impact on users being able to send messages to the system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for pre-processing data to facilitate efficient and accurate machine learning are provided. The data may include market data. The pre-processing may include partitioning the data into windows assigning categories to windows generate a series of vectors.

Abstract: Protections against self-matching trade orders are disclosed which maximize liquidity/efficiency by reducing/minimizing unnecessary cancelations and/or resubmissions. Rather than automatically cancel or modify the incoming and/or self-matching counter orders, those resting counter orders, which would result in the occurrence of a self-match with an incoming order, are placed in a hold state or otherwise set aside such that the incoming order may be matched with other non-self-matching orders. The held orders are subsequently returned to the order book at the same, or different, priority to await a subsequent incoming order.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a mechanism which may restrict or otherwise manage the extent of exposure of any particular market participant within the price movement threshold of a market protection system which interrupts market activity during extreme events, as well as to a mechanism for controlling risk of loss which acts to reduce or otherwise manage a market participant's ability to concentrate their exposure, or risk of loss, within a range of price levels and/or within correlated products that could be executed upon before the market participant, or other entity responsible for the activities thereof, e.g. a risk manager, has an opportunity to react to rapid market movement. Such a mechanism, once the market protection system had activated, e.g. by placing the market in reserve, may permit the market participant, or other party, the opportunity to modify or cancel unexecuted orders to mitigate potential losses.

Abstract: A system can include a first computer hardware means for identifying a first available order book for a first available product listed on an exchange and a second available order book for a second available product listed on the exchange, the first available product comprising a first component and the second available product comprising a second component, the first and the second components being part of a new product. The system can also include a second computer hardware means for generating a new order book for the new product based on the first and second available products. The system can also include a third computer hardware means for causing the new product to be listed on the exchange such that subsequently received orders to buy or sell the new product are matched based on the new order book or entered into the new order book.
