    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods which match/allocate an incoming order to trade with “resting,” i.e. previously received but not yet matched, orders, recognizing that the algorithm or rules by which the incoming order is matched may affect the operation of the market for the financial product being traded. In particular, the disclosed embodiments relate to an adaptive match engine which draws upon different matching algorithms, e.g. the rules which dictate how a given order should be allocated among qualifying resting orders, depending upon market conditions, to improve the operation of the market. Thereby, by conditionally switching among matching algorithms within the same financial product, as will be described, the disclosed match engine automatically adapts to the changing market conditions of a financial product, e.g. a limited life product, in a non-preferential manner, maintaining fair order allocation while improving market liquidity, e.g., over the life of the product.

    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to an exchange-traded futures contract, guaranteed by a clearing house, and characterized by an embedded price dynamic comprising a compound accrual of a periodic interest rate up to a date on which trading therein is terminated, as specified in the futures contract terms and conditions. A trader may be allowed and/or enabled to take a position in a futures contract with respect to an interest bearing underlier with a variable interest rate and, thereby, minimize the number of transactions and attendant costs with respect to monitoring and correcting for divergences between the futures position and the notional interest rate swap exposure for which the futures position is intended to serve as a proxy. Variation margin for the position is computed based on an underlying reference interest rate as opposed to being computed solely on the basis of the end-of-business day price of the futures contract.

    Abstract: A spacer for use in connecting the edges of two or more panes of insulating glass, panel walls or the like. The spacer is extruded as one material and is formed with retaining lips (external and internal). The present invention improves actual window systems by having an innovative shape of material providing a precise thickness, a new technique of spacer frame preparation, novel external lips to increase the strength of assembly and being capable of being utilized in most of todays multi-pane glazing assemblies. The body of the spacer is made of Polyvinyl chloride(PVC) with an appropriate mineral type filler providing better insulation, ease of production techniques and low cost of production. Together these innovations provide exceptional insulation, adhesion characteristics and weather resistance when utilized with proper sealant and desiccant material.

    Abstract: A computer implemented method for determining a margin requirement for a market participant includes maintaining, by a processor associated with an exchange, an exchange account reflecting an exchange position resulting from a trade executed on the exchange for a product available via the exchange, the exchange account being maintained separately from a custodian bank account associated with a custodian bank, the custodian bank account reflecting a repo position resulting from a repo transaction facilitated by the custodian bank between the market participant and a counterparty to the repo transaction. The method further includes receiving data reflective of the repo position via a communication interface between the exchange account and the custodian bank account, and determining the margin requirement for the market participant based on the received data and the exchange position.

    Abstract: The disclosed system makes available multiple interest rate futures contracts (“IRFC”) for a given set of interest rate securities, such as US Treasury Notes, which may be used to satisfy the delivery obligation. The terms on which the delivery obligation of each such IRFC are met are governed by an associated conversion factor yield (“CFY”) value which is associated, in turn, with a corresponding set of conversion factors (“CF”), each of which corresponds to one member of the set of securities eligible for delivery, and which may be used at the time of delivery of such eligible interest rate security, to determine the delivery invoice price. Offering different CFY's and corresponding CF's may enable a market participant who seeks to use such futures to acquire or shed financial risk exposure to select from such array of futures contracts the member contract that most closely mirror the participant's intended risk profile.
