A optimization processor in a data transaction processing system receives an electronic data multiple transaction request message including multiple electronic data transaction requests, and determines whether some of the electronic data transaction requests should be routed through or bypass transaction integrity modules designed to detect and mitigate undesirable object conditions. The optimization processor may also determine whether some of the electronic data transaction requests should be routed through or bypass transaction processing modules designed to match or attempt to match electronic data transaction requests. The optimization processor may, in one embodiment, rely upon previous decisions made by the modules. The optimization processor may also access data structures storing information about a current environment state to determine whether an electronic data transaction request should be routed through the time consuming transaction integrity and transaction processing modules.

Optimization processor for electronic data multiple transaction request messages

The disclosed embodiments relate to implementation of a trading system or trading system architecture having multiple transaction processors that execute financial transactions as well as scheduled tasks. The multiple transaction processors perform all actions independently of each other, but can be configured to execute the financial transactions or scheduled tasks in a controlled, coordinated, and/or synchronized manner based on time signal data augmented to the financial transactions or scheduled tasks by a transaction receiver/orderer.

Systems and methods for coordinating processing of scheduled instructions across multiple components

A processing module may be centralized and coupled to multiple inputs from customers, and behave deterministically, e.g., programmed to depend on state, inputs and outputs. The rapid speed of automated trading systems implementing such a centralized, deterministic module, where all users can access a central limit order object, can quickly result in an object state that does not reflect a true consensus or desirable state. Accordingly the resulting problem is a problem arising in computer systems due in part to the high speeds of computer systems. The solutions disclosed herein are, in one embodiment, implemented as automatic responses and actions by a computing system.

Detection and mitigation of effects of high velocity value changes based upon match event outcomes

A computer implemented method for controlling operational states of a hardware matching processor includes monitoring, by a circuit breaker, incoming electronic data transaction request messages to the hardware matching processor; dynamically defining a range of values as a function of values included with electronic data transaction request messages received during a rolling lookback window; detecting that an incoming electronic data transaction request message contains a value outside the range of values; transitioning the electronic data transaction processing system into a pre-open state for a predetermined period, thereby preventing the hardware matching processor from matching incoming electronic data transaction request messages; calculating a pre-open value at an end of the pre-open state; and re-opening the electronic data transaction processing system at the calculated pre-open value, thereby allowing the hardware matching processor to match incoming electronic data transaction request messages.

Dynamic circuit breaker

The disclosed embodiments relate to implementation of a trading system or trading system architecture having multiple transaction processors that process or execute instructions. The instructions are sent to the transaction processors before they are to be executed, so that when an instruction identifier corresponding to a pre-sent or pre-loaded instruction is sent to a transaction processor, the transaction processor can retrieve and execute the corresponding instruction without unnecessary delay, thus reducing transaction processing latency and improving computing efficiency.

Systems and methods for coordinating processing of instructions across multiple components

Systems and methods for controlling use of a credit pool in connection with electronic trading in a plurality of product groups via a set of match engines are described. Credit data indicative of a current magnitude of the credit pool is obtained. A plurality of allocations of the credit pool are determined, based on the credit pool, across the plurality of product groups. For each allocation of the plurality of allocations, allocation data indicative of the allocation is provided to a respective credit controller of a set of credit controllers. The respective credit controller is disposed at a respective match engine to which a respective product group of the plurality of product groups is assigned. The use of the credit pool for an incoming order in a respective product group is thus limited in accordance with the allocation data provided to the credit controller at the respective match engine.

Distributed credit control with centralized allocation

A data transaction processing system including multiple transaction processors also includes an active transaction receiver that sequences all incoming messages from various sources to facilitate transactional determinism, as well as a results arbiter to efficiently decide which transaction processor result to choose as the correct output. The data transaction processing system minimizes overall latency by optimizing which transaction processors and results arbiters are responsive to specific client computer input requests or messages.
