  • Publication number: 20240070687
    Abstract: A processing module may be centralized and coupled to multiple inputs from customers, and behave deterministically, e.g., programmed to depend on state, inputs and outputs. The rapid speed of automated trading systems implementing such a centralized, deterministic module, where all users can access a central limit order object, can quickly result in an object state that does not reflect a true consensus or desirable state. Accordingly the resulting problem is a problem arising in computer systems due in part to the high speeds of computer systems. The solutions disclosed herein are, in one embodiment, implemented as automatic responses and actions by a computing system.

  • Patent number: 10338979
    Abstract: A transaction suspension system rapidly determines whether messages received by a data transaction processing system correspond to a stored message pattern. Stored message patterns may relate to a transaction type associated with each message, which sources transmitted the messages, and when messages were received by the data transaction processing system. The transaction suspension system may prevent the processing of messages, e.g., messages from a specific source, even if the messages would have otherwise qualified for processing or execution.

  • Patent number: 9792164
    Abstract: A transaction suspension system rapidly determines whether messages received by a centralized, anonymous data transaction processing system related to data objects correspond to a stored message pattern. Stored message patterns may include how the message impact objects within the data transaction processing system, which sources transmitted the messages, and when messages were received by the data transaction processing system. The transaction suspension system may prevent the further processing of messages, e.g., messages from a specific source, even if the message would have otherwise qualified for a completed, or processed, transaction.
