Method and system for identifying high probability trade matches
View Patent ↗Methods and Systems for routing an indication of interest message are provided in which one or more external trade messaging systems are monitored to discover and collect information related to a trading posture of a plurality of trading counterparties. The information related to the trading posture of the plurality of trading counterparties is stored in a database and accessed, upon receipt of an indication of interest message to intelligently route the indication of interest message to at least one of the plurality of trading counterparties based at least in part on the information regarding the trading posture of the plurality of trading counterparties stored in the database.
1. A computer implemented method for routing an indication of interest message for a financial instrument, comprising:
(i) receiving at a processor the indication of interest message, the indication of interest message including at least information related to the financial instrument and a buy or sell indication;
(ii) comparing on a processor the information in the indication of interest message with a buyer listing or a seller listing that is contra to the received buy or sell indication wherein the buyer listing and seller listing are each updated on a substantially real time basis based upon information related to a trading posture of a plurality of trading counterparties;
(iii) utilizing a data analyzer module configured to update the information related to a trading posture of a plurality of trading counterparties based on an analysis of aggregated weighted historical data associated with at least one of the plurality of trading counterparties and the financial instrument to determine which counterparties of the plurality of trading counterparties are likely to be contra to the received buy or sell indication, and
(iv) routing via a network the indication of interest message only to those trading counterparties where the information related to the trading posture indicates a trading posture that is contra to the received buy or sell indication based at least in part on the analysis performed by the data analyzer module, the first listing and the second listing and wherein the aggregated historical data comprises a weighting factor for each day of a predetermined number of days for which information relating to the history of trading activity is stored.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information related to the trading posture is derived from at least one historical activity by the trading counterparties.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the at least one historical activity is weighted based upon age of the activity.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the at least one historical activity is weighted based upon a liquidity of the financial instrument.
5. The method of claim 2 wherein the indication of interest message is specifically directed to at least one targeted counterparty, further comprising:
blocking indication of interest message to the targeted counter party if there is a probability of non-consummation of the buy or sell.
6. The method of claim 2 , wherein historical activity includes at least one currently existing unaccepted order.
7. The method of claim 2 , wherein the at least one currently existing unaccepted order is less than 50 basis points from a market price of the financial instrument.
8. The method of claim 3 , further comprising;
weighting at least one historical activity after the receiving of the indication of interest message.
9. A computer implemented method for routing an indication of interest message for a financial instrument that comprises a buy or sell indication, the method comprising:
monitoring at a processor at least one external trade messaging system to receive information relating to a trading posture of a plurality of trading counterparties;
storing the information in a database;
storing a seller listing for the financial instrument and a buyer listing for the financial instrument in the database which seller listing and buyer listing are updated on a substantially real time basis;
updating the information in the database utilizing a data analyzer module configured to update the information related to a trading posture of the plurality of trading counterparties based on an analysis of aggregated weighted historical data associated with at least one of the plurality of trading counterparties and the financial instrument;
accessing the database upon receipt of an indication of interest message to compare the stored information related to the trading posture of the plurality of trading counterparties with information in the indication of interest message related to the financial instrument to determine which counterparties of the plurality of trading counterparties are likely to be contra to the buy or sell indication indicated in the indication of interest message; and
transmitting via a network the indication of interest message to those trading counterparties where the information related to the trading posture indicates a trading posture that is contra to the received buy or sell indication indicated in the indication of interest message based at least in part on the analysis performed by the data analyzer module, the seller listing and the buyer listing and wherein the aggregated historical data comprises a weighting factor for each day of a predetermined number of days for which information relating to the history of trading activity is stored.
