  • REDUCTION OF COMPUTATIONAL RESOURCES OF AN ELECTRONIC TRADING SYSTEM REQUIRED FOR MANAGEMENT OF ELECTRONIC TRADEABLE INSTRUMENTS IMPLEMENTED AS INSTANTIATED DATA OBJECTS
    Publication number: 20240029162
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to reduction of computational resources of an electronic trading system required for management of electronic tradeable instruments via instantiation of data objects in a memory including both data inherited from and data linked to a master data object stored in an external data structure or database. The combination of both inherited and referenced attributes may uniquely define each instance to enable the electronic trading system to manage and process transactions for a large number of tradeable instrument variations with minimal computational resources. Thereby, the disclosed embodiments enable the listing en mass and scheduling of a large number of financial instruments for trading to cover, for example, various currency patterns, pricing sources and fixing times.
