A method for matching compound orders from a group of market participants includes receiving, via a communication network, compound order data, the compound order data specifying a maximum amount of a financial instrument of a plurality of financial instruments to be bought or sold by each market participant, accessing a memory in which price data is stored, the price data indicating a current price of each financial instrument, implementing, with a processor, a linear solver to maximize fulfillment of the compound orders via order matching for execution at the current prices in accordance with the maximum amounts specified in the compound order data and in accordance with a maximum net risk exposure level for each market participant arising from the fulfillment of the compound orders, and transmitting trade data indicative of the order matching for execution of trades among the market participants at the current prices.

Matched order fulfillment with linear optimization

A system and method of providing a collateralized loan utilizing a clearing counterparty is disclosed. The system includes a match engine module to receive an order for a bundled box spread future representative of the collateralized loan via an options box spread. The order specifies an interest rate associated with the collateralized loan as the price of the futures contract. A trade database identifies a bundled box spread future associated with the received order and interest rate and an order book module identifies a standing order that is compatible with the received order. A clearing module credits an account with a loan amount based on the identified bundled option box future. A risk management module credits a margin amount to reflect the collateralized loan and associated collateral assets.
