A computerized system associates each arbitrator computer of a plurality of arbitrator computers with a different one of a plurality of credit manager computers, wherein each associated arbitrator computer of the plurality of arbitrator computers is located geographically more proximate to an associated trader workstation of a plurality of trader workstations than others of the plurality of arbitrator computers, and locates the different one of the plurality of credit manager computers in a same location as the associated arbitrator computer so as to provide low network latency between a time an electronic trade order is transmitted from the associated trader workstation and received by the associated arbitrator computer and a time that a match is made by the associated arbitrator computer.

Anonymous trading system

A computerised method of trading a fungible instrument, the method comprising: receiving orders from traders for a fungible instrument. The orders each comprise an amount of the fungible instrument to buy or sell, but no price. The orders are matched. The price of matched orders is then fixed at a price based on an outside source at a predetermined time.

An anonymous trading system includes a prime broker facility that allows a third party to trade on behalf of an institution. A deal is executed between the third party and a counter-party and a further deal is then executed between the third party and the party on whose behalf it has traded. The second deal may be for the same amount as the first deal or may be altered to include the third party's fee for conducting the first deal. Clients of the third party have prices available to them for trades made via the third party which are displayed at their trader terminals. The client sees that a better price is available though the third party than by dealing direct and selects to conduct a deal through the third party.

Trading system having increased liquidity provision

Best bid and best offer rate data from deals concluded on an anonymous trading system in a fungible instrument such as a foreign currency pair are processed to derive indicative rates. A minimum indicative rates spread between bid and offer prices is defined. The indicative rate bid and offer prices are set to the received best bid and offer prices and alternately an amount is added to the indicative offer rates and subtracted from the indicative bid rates until the spread between the indicative bid and offer rates is greater than or equal to the predefined minimum indicative rates spread and greater than the spread between the best bid and offer prices.
