Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for an optimized electronic match engine of an exchange is disclosed that distributes a minimum data set to an external market data generation (MDG) processor. The optimized electronic match engine derives a minimum data set from data already known to the optimized electronic match engine. The MDG processor may extract the minimum data set and uses it to generate market data outside of the optimized electronic match engine. In some examples, an order entry (OE) message transmitted from the optimized electronic match engine may be appended with the minimum data set in a simple binary encoding (SBE) format.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to creation and dissemination of unique identifiers, i.e. tokens, for use in communication of messages from a transaction processing system, to participants therein whereby messages, or at least a portion of the content thereof, indicative of a response to a request, to transact or modify a prior transaction, are consolidated, or otherwise combined, with the corresponding directed reporting messages communicated to the particular participants participating in the reported transaction while preserving the anonymity of those participants to which messages are particularly directed. The identifiers are structured so as to facilitate rapid validation and dissemination while eliminating the ability to associate any given identifier, or set thereof, with a participant.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods which match or otherwise allocate an incoming order to trade with “resting,” i.e. previously received but not yet matched (fully satisfied), orders, recognizing that the algorithm or rules by which the incoming order is matched/allocated may affect the operation of the market for the financial product being traded. In particular, the disclosed embodiments relate to regulation of a rate of incoming orders by buffering or otherwise batching orders together as they are received and subsequently forwarding batches of orders to a match engine for processing thereby in a manner which may equalize orders from traders having varying abilities to rapid submit orders or otherwise capitalize on market events. The disclosed embodiments further relate to prioritizing the matching of resting orders against an incoming order.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to communication of financial messages from an Exchange to market participants whereby messages, or at least a portion of the content thereof, indicative of changes in the market, due to one or more trades between two or more market participants, are structured so as to reduce redundant data therein and prioritize the transmission of that portion of the message which summarizes the event and result thereof. Further, these event reporting messages may further consolidate, or otherwise be combined with, the corresponding directed reporting messages communicated to the particular market participants participating in the reported trade while preserving the anonymity of those market participants to which messages are particularly directed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to system and method for authorizing a transaction using user data collected from third-party websites/applications/sources, such as social media networks. In operation, collected user data may be compared to a financial data or user data collected during a transaction to identify potential fraud and/or other discrepancies, confirming the identity of the user with a greater degree of accuracy and/or imposing purchase parameters.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The present invention relates to system and method for authorizing a financial transaction using user-data collected from third party websites, such as Social Media Networks. In operation, collected user-data may be compared to a financial-data collected during a financial transaction to identify potential fraud and/or other discrepancies, confirming the identity of the user with a greater degree of accuracy.

Abstract: Systems and methods for matching orders are provided. One or more trade templates are created. The trade templates define groups of orders for financial instruments that may be combined such that all of the orders are matched. A collection of tradable price levels is also created for each template. New orders and resting orders are analyzed using one or more trade templates and tradable price levels to determine whether a combination of orders satisfies all of the elements of a trade template with a required price level. When all of the elements of a trade template are satisfied and an order with a tradable price level is received, the corresponding orders may be matched contemporaneously.

Abstract: A match engine is utilized by either a market participant or an electronic trading system. The match engine receives orders, stores them internally, calculates tradable combinations and displays or otherwise publishes the tradable combinations or the order(s) needed to complete tradable combinations. The match engine operates under a set of rules that may be customized to provide only the tradable combinations that are likely to be executed and contribute to total trading volume. At least some tradeable combinations that are not likely to be traded are not calculated, which frees up the computing capacity of the electronic trading system.
