Methods, system and articles of manufacture are disclosed including configurable order entry, matching, coordination and market data intervals. An example method to decouple order entry and matching of contra-side orders includes receiving a trade order during an order entry interval, wherein the order entry interval defines a first period. The example method also includes starting a matching interval at the expiration of the order entry interval, wherein the matching interval includes a second period and wherein the first period is contiguous to the second period. The example method further includes matching the trade order, during the matching interval, with one or more opposing tradable object trade orders received during the order entry interval, the trade order having a same price or same quantity as the one or more opposing trade orders.
