The disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for generating an optimal solution for determining a value for one or more base data objects. A plurality of solutions include one or more composite data objects transacted by a transaction system processor. The composite data objects include the one or more base data objects. An optimal solution is generated by using data indicative of a level of activity and a number of sources for each of the plurality of composite data objects.

Dynamic valuation system using object relationships and composite object data

A computer system compresses value change data. Value change ranges are identified for value changes corresponding to different times. Codes are selected based on the identified value change ranges. The value change range codes are concatenated with machine-coded categories and stored. The stored concatenated codes are used for transaction validation.

Compression of value change data

An exchange computer system may compress price data associated with a financial product. The financial product may be, e.g., a type of futures contract, a type of option, a type of over-the-counter (OTC) forward, a type of OTC option, a type of security, or other type of financial product. The computer system may access data that indicates prices for a financial product at each of multiple times, generate data representing changes in prices, and stores codes representing that generated price change data. Price change categories may be identified for price changes corresponding to different times. Codes may then be selected based on the identified price change categories and stored. The stored codes may be used for price validation and/or other purposes.
