System and method for discretionary broker quotes and pegged broker quotes

摘要

To represent broker interest in a security, a system receives broker interest to buy or sell a security at a first price with a minimum trade size, and receives an order with an order trade size. The system determines whether the order trade size is greater than the minimum trade size, and responsive to determining whether the order trade size is greater than the minimum trade size, the system trades at least part of the broker interest against the order if the order trade size is greater than the minimum trade size.
