Abstract: The description generally describes systems and methods for managing derivative contracts. The system maintains derivative contract states using a set of rules to ensure subsequent post-trade events are applied in the correct order, and without jeopardizing the integrity of the underlying derivative contract. Data about derivative contracts maintained in other environments can be back-loaded into the system to allow all of a user's contracts to be contained within the system, and data associated with the back-loaded contracts can be governed in the same fashion as existing derivative contracts. Payment processing and settlement can be handled automatically by the system. If a derivative contract in the system has an uncertain state, payment processing on the derivative contract can be initiated by either trading counterparty using payment processing logic.
