  • Patent number: 10650454
    Abstract: An electronic trading system implements a display price that guarantees a minimum available quantity for trade. The electronic trading system determines a quantity of financial instruments available at various prices for incoming orders. A display bid price and display offer price are determined so that the quantity available at the display prices exceeds a display quantity threshold. The electronic trading system receives orders designated fast and slow. Fast orders are used for large, rapid trades at known prices. Slow orders trade with a delay for a price improvement auction. Orders meeting a minimum order quantity threshold may participate in an auction for incoming orders that offers price improvement to the execution price of aggressively priced orders. The electronic trading system implements risk management measures based on order size and percentage filled for individual trades and series of trades. The electronic trading system supports orders having multiple legs.

  • Patent number: 9799075
    Abstract: A system is configured to hold price improvement auctions for customer orders for a duration that is based on a random timer. The system receives an initiating order from an auction guarantor that describes the financial instrument that a customer wishes to trade. The auction guarantor provides a guaranteed order that can fill the initiating order. A random time period to hold the auction is selected. The system solicits responses from other market participants for the financial instrument. When the random time period expires the system matches the initiating order against the responses, existing orders in an order book, and the guaranteed order.
