  • Patent number: 10657587
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to determining a listing date, an expiration date and the cash settlement price of a futures contract, i.e. a Treasury Futures, for the delivery of the most recently issued, referred to as an on-the-run, US treasury Note of a particular maturity by reference to the U.S. Treasury Auction cycle and the difference between a resultant industry surveyed swap rate and a resultant industry surveyed swap spread of the respective tenors (time remaining until maturity) of the on-the-run treasury futures.

  • Publication number: 20140067635
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for determining a quotation price of a spread between multiple products, such as two or more futures contracts, having non-homogeneous construction, e.g. one may be specified in terms of an implied rate, such as a Eurodollar Futures contract, and the other may be specified in terms of a price, such a U.S. Treasury Futures contract. The disclosed embodiments normalize the valuation of each “leg” of the spread with respect to each other, accounting for the divergence of the underlying contract construction, so that a difference in those valuations may be computed.

  • Publication number: 20140006243
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods which match/allocate an incoming order to trade with “resting,” i.e. previously received but not yet matched, orders, recognizing that the algorithm or rules by which the incoming order is matched may affect the operation of the market for the financial product being traded. In particular, the disclosed embodiments relate to an adaptive match engine which draws upon different matching algorithms, e.g. the rules which dictate how a given order should be allocated among qualifying resting orders, depending upon market conditions, to improve the operation of the market. Thereby, by conditionally switching among matching algorithms within the same financial product, as will be described, the disclosed match engine automatically adapts to the changing market conditions of a financial product, e.g. a limited life product, in a non-preferential manner, maintaining fair order allocation while improving market liquidity, e.g., over the life of the product.
