Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide an order balancing tool for modifying one or more components of an aggregated order in response to a change in quantity of the aggregated order. As used herein, the phrase “aggregated order” refers to two or more trade orders for a same tradeable object at a same price that may be distributed between two or more electronic exchanges. Aggregating trade order quantities may be useful, for example, for trading groups to improve the likelihood of the total number of contracts being filled by placing one trade order rather than two separate trade order that may be separated by additional trade orders received from different accounts.

Abstract: An allocation manager may be implemented to reallocate the order quantities that are pending in an order queue at different exchanges according to a definition of a trading strategy. To reallocate the order quantities across the different exchanges, a minimum position-in-queue value for each leg in the trading strategy may be determined by the allocation manager. The minimum position-in-queue value may be the minimum or target value to be pending at an order queue for each leg of the trading strategy. A quantity allocation amount may be determined for one or more of the legs of the trading strategy to reallocate a quantity of a tradeable object from one exchange to another to meet the minimum position-in-queue value at each exchange. A quantity allocation amount may be communicated to each exchange to transfer the quantity allocation amount between the exchanges.
