摘要:
The present invention is directed to a system for the electronic trading of financial instruments, and in particular, a system and method for the receipt, combination, and evaluation of equity portfolios for possible simultaneous execution by a sponsor at passively determined prices. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a method for trading securities portfolios includes receiving a first intended portfolio trade having an associated specified commission, evaluating a combination of the first intended portfolio trade and a second intended portfolio trade for possible execution; and transmitting a decision on whether to execute the combination of the first intended portfolio trade and the second intended portfolio trade.
摘要:
A method and system for an automated trading network that continuously collects invisible, anonymous, binding orders and indications of interest to buy and sell specific equity securities at variable, passively determined prices and, then, executes trades based on these collected orders and indications. In general, the binding orders are collected from retail broker-dealers and the binding indications are collected from institutions. The variable, passively determined, non-discrete prices can be linked to the National Best Bid or Offer (NBBO) for each security, or some other prevailing market indicator, at the time a trade is executed. In an embodiment of the method and system, marketable retail orders which match with one or more collected institutional indications, are routed from a Dynamic Order Router (DOR) at each broker-dealer to a Central Order-Match Box (COMB) to be executed against the one or more matched collected institutional indications. The COMB also manages most other aspects of transactions in the method and system and continuously executes trades against the collected institutional indications at improved prices relative to the NBBO.
