Abstract: The technology is suitable for any kind of distributed networks having different data rates on different connections and a computer system where the data to distribute is created. The system comprises one or more supersets of data to be distributed to client computers by extracting subsets of data from the superset(s) of data. Thereafter, the subsets of data are distributed to selected groups of clients based on information about the network architecture. This provides an efficient way of distributing data without having to duplicate distributed data. In example implementations, subsets may be distributed to clients based on a counter performance or a data rate of a client's connection to the computer system.

Abstract: Electronic messages regarding a current order status of an order book of an electronic exchange system are transmitted to users including information concerning identities of parties having placed orders stored in the order book. The current order status is associated with a queue of orders stored in the order book. Each stored order has associated properties and an associated queue number. A higher queue number indicates a lower trading priority than a lower queue number. An electronic order message is received to trade selecting an order stored in the order book having a queue number of two or higher than over a lower queue number order stored in the order book. Both the selected order and the lower queue number order have properties matching both the selected order and the lower queue number order. The received message is identified as including information that selects the order stored in the order book having a queue number of two or higher.

Abstract: Matching orders on an electronic trading system is disclosed. Information is broadcasted regarding the current order status of an order book of the electronic trading system The order status includes a queue of orders. An order is received to trade that selects or indicates an order in the order book having queue number two or higher. If the received order has one or more properties matching the selected order, the received order is matched with the selected order.

Abstract: A method of processing exchange system trading data is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving an order data message from a matching engine of an automated exchange. The order data message has first data format and it also comprises identification information associated with a trading entity. The received data message is then converted into a new data message of a new data format, which is different from the data format of the received order data message. Also, the trading entity from which the received order data message is originating is identified. Subsequently, the new data message having the new data format can be transmitted to a plurality of client devices associated with the identified trading entity. This may allow for all, or at least a majority of client devices, of the identified trading entity to get an overview of the total order activity of the identified trading entity.

Abstract: In an automated exchange, comprising a matching module, a received order is validated for risk purposes before a match process begins. Hereby it is made possible to reduce the total financial exposure by a customer to the automated exchange.
