20150088720 | Secure Exchange Feed Market Data Embargo - 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. | 03-26-2015 |

20100017647 | MATCH SERVER FOR A FINANCIAL EXCHANGE HAVING FAULT TOLERANT OPERATION - Fault tolerant operation is disclosed for a primary match server of a financial exchange using an active copy-cat instance, a.k.a. backup match server, that mirrors operations in the primary match server, but only after those operations have successfully completed in the primary match server. Fault tolerant logic monitors inputs and outputs of the primary match server and gates those inputs to the backup match server once a given input has been processed. The outputs of the backup match server are then compared with the outputs of the primary match server to ensure correct operation. The disclosed embodiments further relate to fault tolerant failover mechanism allowing the backup match server to take over for the primary match server in a fault situation wherein the primary and backup match servers are loosely coupled, i.e. they need not be aware that they are operating in a fault tolerant environment. As such, the primary match server need not be specifically designed or programmed to interact with the fault tolerant mechanisms. Instead, the primary match server need only be designed to adhere to specific basic operating guidelines and shut itself down when it cannot do so. By externally controlling the ability of the primary match server to successfully adhere to its operating guidelines, the fault tolerant mechanisms of the disclosed embodiments can recognize error conditions and easily failover from the primary match server to the backup match server. | 01-21-2010 |

20130041801 | Selective Suppression of Implied Contract Generation - 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. | 02-14-2013 |

20130198054 | Trade Matching Platform with Variable Pricing Based on Clearing Relationships - The disclosure describes systems and methods for using enhanced RFQs and incoming enhanced orders to assist in detecting implied orders using an implied spread determination module. In one example, a system includes a processor and memory storing a search list and computer-executable instructions, where the instructions determine whether the financial instrument associated with an eRFQ or new enhanced order is on the search list, and then determine if an implied order exists in combination with that financial instrument and CCP attribute designations. In some embodiments, a timer may be used to track a predetermined amount of time to spend towards determining if implied orders exist for a particular financial instrument at particular clearing houses. | 08-01-2013 |
20130204769 | Trade Matching Platform with Variable Pricing Based on Clearing Relationships - Systems and methods are described relating to swap execution facilities (SEFs), such as additional new order/spread types for use with SEFs and clearing houses (CHs). Some new order/spread types include covered calls based on clearing house (CH); peg orders based on CH; stop orders with option to get out or specify CH; UDS with or without with designation for specific CH or generic; flex with or without; cancel all within a CH or aggregated or risk based; FX Spot and TomNextâ„¢ and related spreads; energy natural hedges; intercommodity spreads; stop button by CH, exchange, or both; and other types of orders that may be modified to incorporate a CCP attribute. | 08-08-2013 |
