Abstract: This software enables a financial institution acting as a clearing agent to offer a liquidity pool where their clients can anonymously submit orders for a financial instrument. Many financial markets suffer from reduced liquidity, the causes for which include: 1) fragmentation across multiple markets, 2) fragmentation across a large instrument universe and 3) attempting to trade an illiquid instrument. The software has been developed to uniquely improve available liquidity using crossing algorithms that intelligently identify orders for similar instruments as relevant execution opportunities, and applies a quantitative scoring of their propensity to trade on which clients can anonymously negotiate and execute.
