In an automated trading system for matching bids and offers entered into the system by a number of traders connected to the system, a server hosts a matching processor and an associated memory forming an orderbook of the system where both fixed-income instruments paying a coupon, referred to as bonds, and fixed-income instruments not paying a coupon (zero-coupon), referred to as stripped bonds, are traded. The system derives prices for bonds using information from stripped bonds.

In an automated exchange system, a separate virtual instrument is used in the matching process of the system. The virtual instrument guarantees that both a derivative instrument and its underlying instrument are traded together. The underlying instrument, i.e. the instrument in which derivative instruments are traded, is then preferably displayed together with the virtual instruments. The underlying instrument is presented with a price. The matching of the virtual instrument can take place in a matching module of the automated exchange system. After a trade in a virtual instrument is matched in the matching process of the system, the match is reported to a subsequent deal capture module where the corresponding different trades or deals of the virtual instrument are formed. The trades or deals formed in the deal capture module do not need to be matched because the number of instruments and the price can be deduced from the information relating to the virtual instrument.

An anonymous trading system that enables users to select counterparty requirements. Each user has an interface to add trader preconditions regarding available counterparties. Those trader preconditions include an expression of the user's willingness to trade with selected counterparties. The added trader preconditions are collected from the users and combined into a trader matrix. The trader matrix is used to determine matching criteria for orders sent in by users. An anonymous trading system and a terminal for sending orders to an anonymous trading system are also provided.

A method for use by an operator of a system for trading of financial instruments allows the operator to differentiate between the information a user of the system is given access to regarding trades which are made outside of the system and then reported to the system, so called off-exchange trades. The operator defines a first set of boundaries within which the off-exchange trades will be accepted by the system. The operator also defines which sub-sets of a set of information about the trade will be disseminated to users of the system. The definition of the boundaries and the sub-sets of information are defined independently of each other.
