Patent number: 11164248Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for matching orders for a financial product. A first order for a financial product is received. The first order includes a preference for a first order book. An order processer selects a first hardware match processor based on the preference. A first hardware match processor attempts to match the first order with a previously received order in the first order book. A second order for the financial product is received. The second order includes a preference for a second order book. The order processor selects a second hardware match processor based on the preference. A second hardware match processor attempts to match the second order with a previously received order in the second order book. The first and second hardware match processors use different matching algorithms.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2016Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc.Inventors: José Antonio Acuña-Rohter, Pearce Peck-Walden, Ari Studnitzer

Publication number: 20210216292Abstract: A monitoring system monitors processing of incoming messages by an application, and logs data related to performance of the application. The application includes a plurality of checkpoints, and the monitoring system logs data upon each message traversing the checkpoints in the application. The monitoring system is configured to dynamically modify checkpoints within the application based on latency detection of portions of the application, resulting in improved granularity/resolution of the data collected from congested portions of the application, and reducing the performance penalty of the monitoring system from portions of the application that are not congested.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2021Publication date: July 15, 2021Applicant: Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc.Inventors: Kyle Dennis Kavanagh, José Antonio Acuña-Rohter, David Michael Wong

Patent number: 11012396Abstract: A data transaction processing system receives electronic data transaction request messages from client computers over a data communication network and groups a subset of the electronic data transaction request messages at varying intervals. The intervals may be dynamically determined and may be based on the volume and rate of the incoming electronic data transaction request messages. The data transaction processing system may preprocess the group of electronic data transaction request messages before forwarding the electronic data transaction request messages to a transaction processor, which processes the subset of electronic data transaction request messages in a non-chronological order.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc.Inventors: José Antonio Acuña-Rohter, Ari Studnitzer, Kyle D.

Patent number: 10762566Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for communicating market data with market participants involve obfuscating at least a portion of a first financial message. Communicating the market data also involves augmenting a second financial message with a key configured to remove the obfuscation from the obfuscated portion of the first financial message. The market data is ultimately communicated by transmitting the first financial message to a particular participant, and transmitting the second message to a plurality of participants. The particular participant may then use the key from the second financial message to remove the obfuscation of the first financial message.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc.Inventors: José Antonio Acuña-Rohter, Paul Callaway, Pearce Peck-Walden, Barry Galster
