International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 35, 705 37

Abstract:

A method of allocating a quantity of an incoming order for a product develops a value that indicates a portion of the incoming order this is to be allocated using a FIFO algorithm and allocates a first portion of the incoming order to standing orders using the FIFO algorithm. The method further allocates a second portion of the incoming order to standing orders using a pro-rata algorithm, wherein the step of allocating the second portion leaves a remaining quantity of the incoming order. In addition, the method allocates the remaining portion to the standing orders using a FIFO algorithm.

US Classification:

705 37, 705 36 R, 705 35, 705 38

Abstract:

A method of order allocation is disclosed. The method includes receiving an incoming order, establishing an inner market representing a first portion of an order book which may be defined as a function of an inner market parameter, designating the first portion of the order book as a priority and allocating the first portion of the received incoming order based on the priority, establishing an outer market that represents a second portion of the order book that includes the remainder of the order book not represented by the inner market of the order book, assigning the received incoming order to one of the inner or outer markets as a function of the inner market parameter, allocating a first portion of the incoming order to the inner market utilizing a first-in, first-out (FIFO) algorithm, and allocating a second portion, in excess of the first portion, of the incoming order to the outer market using a pro-rata algorithm.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 36 R, 705 37

Abstract:

A computer assisted method of operating a venue of an exchange comprises the steps of providing a market for trading of a product, acquiring a measure of trading volume of the product, and developing a measure of open interest in the product. A relationship is calculated between the measure of trading volume and the measure of open interest. A settlement price is computed in accordance with the relationship, and the settlement price is published.
