Abstract

Processing pricing data can be provided by receiving first data associating a first price source, a first market condition, and an instrument; receiving second data from at least one of a plurality of price sources, the second data comprising a first price quote for the instrument; determining that the at least one of the plurality of price sources matches the first price source; and generating a second price quote for the instrument based on the second data. Time data may be used for synchronizing the first data and the second data. The first price source may be changed to a second price source and/or the first market condition may be changed to a second market condition; and a third price quote generated for the instrument based on the associated second price source. Cached data may be used for processing the pricing data.

Claims (18)

1. A computer-implement method comprising: receiving, via a computer, first data comprising a first price source, a first market condition, and a currency pair; receiving, via computer, second data comprising a second price source; determining, via a computer, a price source by selecting between the first price source and second price source based on said first market condition; and generate a price quote based on said first or second data.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising receiving, via a computer, time data for synchronizing said first data and said second data.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising, upon change of an association between said first price source and said instrument, generating, via a computer, a second price quote for said instrument based on a third price source.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein said generating, via a computer, said second price quote for said instrument based on said third price source comprises using cached data received, via a computer, from said third price source.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising, upon said first market condition changing to a second market condition, generating, via a computer, a third price quote for said instrument based on a fourth price source associated with said second market condition.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein said generating, via a computer, said third price quote for said instrument based on said fourth price source associated with said second market condition comprises using cached data received, via a computer, from said fourth price source.

7. A system comprising: a processor communicatively coupled to a storage device and a server; wherein said storage device is configured to receive first data comprising a first price source, a first market condition, and a currency pair; wherein said server is configured to communicate to said processor second data received from a second price source; and wherein said processor is configured to: determine a price source by selecting between the first price source and second price source based on said first market condition, and generate a price quote based on said first or second data.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein said server is further configured to communicate time data for synchronizing said first data and said second data, and wherein said processor is further configured to receive time data for synchronizing said first data and said second data.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein upon change of an association between said first price source and said instrument, said processor is further configured to generate a second price quote for said instrument based on a third price source.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein cached data received from said third price source is used to generate said second price quote.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein upon said first market condition changes to a second market condition, said processor is further configured to generate a third price quote for said instrument based on a fourth price source associated with said second market condition.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein cached data received from said fourth price source is used to generate said third price quote.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer executable instructions that, when executed on a computer, configure the computer to perform a method comprising: receiving, via a computer, first data comprising a first price source, a first market condition, and a currency pair; receiving, via a computer, second data comprising a second price source; determining, via a computer, a price source by selecting between the first price source and second price source based on said first market condition; and generating, via a computer, a price quote based on said first or second data.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , said method further comprising receiving, via a computer, time data for synchronizing said first data and said second data.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , said method further comprising upon change of an association between said first price source and said instrument, generating, via a computer, a third price quote for said instrument based on a second price source.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , said method further comprising using cached data received, via a computer, from said third price source to generate, via a computer, said second price quote.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , said method further comprising upon said first market condition changing to a second market condition, generating, via a computer, a fourth price quote for said instrument based on a third price source associated with said second market condition.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , said method further comprising using cached data received, via a computer, from said fourth price source to generate, via a computer, said third price quote.
