TRADING OF FINANCIAL INTERESTS INCLUDING REALLOCATION OF COMMITTED ORDER QUANTITY

摘要

Computer systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for facilitating trading of financial interests over computer networks. A computer system may send through the network a first order for a financial interest, where the first order is not presently executable in an execution venue but has associated with it a quantity that can be committed to a possible future trade. On learning of a possible match between the first order and a second order, the computer system may attempt to firm up the first order into a tradable third order, possibly by asking a trader workstation to recall a quantity that was previously committed to a broker for trading. If firming up succeeds, the third order may be transmitted to a venue for execution. Firming up may include receiving from the trader workstation information identifying a broker to give up to the venue.
