System and method for delaying execution of financial transactions
A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for delaying execution of financial transactions. A first message including data for a first financial transaction is received, the first message being uncorrupted. A first trading symbol that is a target of the first financial transaction is determined. The first trading symbol is determined to be a target of at least one financial transaction that was included in at least one previous message that was determined to be corrupted. Execution of the first financial transaction is delayed.
1. A gateway system, comprising:
one or more communication interfaces for receiving messages from multiple senders and for sending transactions to one or more transaction processing systems;
at least one hardware processor;
memory storing at least one program for execution by the at least one hardware processor, wherein the at least one program, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, causes the gateway system to perform a method, comprising:
receiving, via the one or more communication interfaces, messages from multiple senders, the received messages including data identifying transactions to be performed by the one or more transaction processing systems, the received messages including a first message received from a first sender and a second message received from a second sender after the first message from the first sender is received, and a third message received from a third sender after the first message from the first sender is received, the first message including data identifying a first transaction to be performed and a particular transaction target that is a transaction target for the first transaction; wherein the first sender, second sender and third sender are distinct senders;
in accordance with a determination that the first message is corrupted,
identifying the particular transaction target from data in the first message; and
adding information identifying the particular transaction target to an interfered transaction list;
in accordance with a determination that the second message includes data identifying a second transaction, distinct from the first transaction, to be performed with respect to said particular transaction target, and that the particular transaction target is on the interfered transaction list,
delaying, by a time interval, sending the second transaction to any of the one or more transaction processing systems; and
in accordance with a determination that data in the third message does not identify any transaction to be performed with respect to any transaction target on the interfered transaction list, sending a third transaction, identified by data in the third message, to a transaction processing system of the one or more transaction processing systems, without delaying the sending of the third transaction by said time interval.
2. The gateway system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one program, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, further causes the gateway system to:
add the second transaction to a quarantined transaction list in accordance with the determination that the second message includes data identifying the second transaction, distinct from the first transaction, to be performed with respect to said particular transaction target, and that the particular transaction target is on the interfered transaction list; and
after a first time interval, remove the second transaction from the quarantined transaction list and send the second transaction to a transaction processing system of the one or more transaction processing systems.
3. The gateway system of claim 2 , wherein the at least one program, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, further causes the gateway system to:
remove the particular transaction target from the interfered transaction list after the particular transaction target has been on the interfered transaction list for at least a predetermined time period.
4. The gateway system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one program, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, further causes the gateway system to:
remove the particular transaction target from the interfered transaction list after the particular transaction target has been on the interfered transaction list for at least a predetermined time period.
5. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing at least one program configured for execution by at least one hardware processor of a computer system comprising a gateway system, the at least one program comprising instructions to:
receive, via one or more communication interfaces of the gateway system, messages from multiple senders, the received messages including data identifying transactions to be performed by one or more transaction processing systems, the received messages including a first message received from a first sender and a second message received from a second sender after the first message from the first sender is received, and a third message received from a third sender after the first message from the first sender is received, the first message including data identifying a first transaction to be performed and a particular transaction target that is a transaction target for the first transaction; wherein the first sender, second sender and third sender are distinct senders;
in accordance with a determination that the first message is corrupted,
identify the particular transaction target from data in the first message; and
add information identifying the particular transaction target to an interfered transaction list;
in accordance with a determination that the second message includes data identifying a second transaction, distinct from the first transaction, to be performed with respect to said particular transaction target, and that the particular transaction target is on the interfered transaction list,
delay, by a time interval, sending the second transaction to any of the one or more transaction processing systems; and
in accordance with a determination that data in the third message does not identify any transaction to be performed with respect to any transaction target on the interfered transaction list, send a third transaction, identified by data in the third message, to a transaction processing system of the one or more transaction processing systems, without delaying the sending of the third transaction by said time interval.
6. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 5 , wherein the at least one program further comprises instructions to:
add the second transaction to a quarantined transaction list in accordance with the determination that the second message includes data identifying the second transaction, distinct from the first transaction, to be performed with respect to said particular transaction target, and that the particular transaction target is on the interfered transaction list; and
after a first time interval, remove the second transaction from the quarantined transaction list and send the second transaction to a transaction processing system of the one or more transaction processing systems.
7. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the at least one program further comprises instructions to:
remove the particular transaction target from the interfered transaction list after the particular transaction target has been on the interfered transaction list for at least a predetermined time period.
8. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 5 , wherein the at least one program further comprises instructions to:
remove the particular transaction target from the interfered transaction list after the particular transaction target has been on the interfered transaction list for at least a predetermined time period.
