Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed which match or otherwise allocate an incoming transaction with previously received but not yet fully satisfied transactions counter thereto as well as to mitigation of disparities in latencies between the client devices of the market participants and the electronic data transaction processing system which may result in disparities in the time of receipt of competing transactions. The disclosed embodiments may mitigate such disparities by buffering or otherwise grouping temporally proximate competing transactions together upon receipt, e.g. into a group, collection, set, bucket, etc.

Abstract: A data transaction processing system including multiple transaction processors also includes an active transaction receiver that sequences all incoming messages from various sources to facilitate transactional determinism, as well as a results arbiter to efficiently decide which transaction processor result to choose as the correct output. The data transaction processing system minimizes overall latency by optimizing which transaction processors and results arbiters are responsive to specific client computer input requests or messages.

Abstract: An electronic trading system utilizes a Match Engine that receives orders, stores them internally, calculates tradable combinations and advertises the availability of real and implied orders in the form of market data. New tradable items defined as combinations of other tradable items may be included in the calculation of tradable combinations. A technique is disclosed for suppression of the calculation and/or subsequent listing of an implied order when the order is either undesired or unnecessary in the market therefore.

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 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 disclosed embodiments relate to implementation of a trading system or trading system architecture having multiple transaction processors that execute financial transactions as well as scheduled tasks. The multiple transaction processors perform all actions independently of each other, but can be configured to execute the financial transactions or scheduled tasks in a controlled, coordinated, and/or synchronized manner based on time signal data augmented to the financial transactions or scheduled tasks by a transaction receiver/orderer.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to implementation of a trading system or trading system architecture having multiple transaction processors that process or execute instructions. The instructions are sent to the transaction processors before they are to be executed, so that when an instruction identifier corresponding to a pre-sent or pre-loaded instruction is sent to a transaction processor, the transaction processor can retrieve and execute the corresponding instruction without unnecessary delay, thus reducing transaction processing latency and improving computing efficiency.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate generally to efficient data transmission and receipt. Specifically, the disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods for selectively combining multiple, disparate message types and transmitting same via one data feed. A consolidation system determines whether data resulting from an event can be combined or merged based on pre-determined message characteristics and state or environment information, or should be sent via two separate feeds. The merged message may be backwards-compatible so that data recipient computing systems can easily and selectively decide which portion of the merged data is relevant to the data recipient computing system, only read the relevant portions. Thus, multiple data receivers, which typically consume different message types, can receive and consume the same merged or consolidated message.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for ensuring execution of multiple inter-dependent transactions in an electronic data transaction processing system in which a plurality of data items are transacted by one or more hardware matching processors associated therewith that match a combined electronic data transaction request comprising a conditional execution instruction and a plurality of component electronic data transaction request messages, each for transaction of a different data item of the plurality of data items.
