1. A processor-implemented method for transforming transaction data and market feed data into trade metrics, the method comprising:

executing a transaction for a financial instrument on a trading network using a server having a processor and interfacing with a database;

receiving market data, at the server, regarding the financial instrument from a public exchange data source;

determining, using the processor, a mark price for the financial instrument;

calculating, using the processor, a trade metric for the executed transaction using an executed price for the transaction and the mark price;

storing the trade metric in the database;

associating the trade metric for the executed transaction with a client account stored in the database; and

repeating the method for a plurality of transactions and aggregating the resulting trade metrics for each client account.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising categorizing each client account into one of a plurality of trading categories based on the aggregated trade metric.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising dividing the trading network into trading pools and limiting access to the trading pools for each client account based on the categorization of each client account.

4. A processor-implemented method for transforming transaction data and market feed data into trade metrics, the method comprising:

executing a transaction for a financial instrument on a trading network using a server having a processor and interfacing with a database;

receiving market data, at the server, regarding the financial instrument from a public exchange data source;

determining, using the processor, a mark price for the financial instrument;

calculating, using the processor, a trade metric for the executed transaction using an executed price for the transaction and the mark price; and

storing the trade metric in the database;

wherein the trade metric calculated using the executed price and the mark price is the profit or loss to a client for each executed transaction.

5. A processor-implemented method for transforming transaction data and market feed data into trade metrics, the method comprising:

executing a transaction for a financial instrument on a trading network using a server having a processor and interfacing with a database;

receiving market data, at the server, regarding the financial instrument from a public exchange data source;

determining, using the processor, a mark price for the financial instrument;

calculating, using the processor, a trade metric for the executed transaction using an executed price for the transaction and the mark price;

storing the trade metric in the database; and

adjusting the trade metric when a client requesting the transaction execution is determined to be a liquidity provider.

6. A trading network comprising:

a server interfacing with a database and configured to receive a market data feed from a public exchange;

a trade execution component interfacing with the server and configured to receive a trade order for a financial instrument from a client device and to fill the trade order;

a financial exchange component interfacing with the server and configured to receive market data from a public exchange, determine a mark price for the filled trade, and relay the market data and the mark price to the server; and

a metric calculation component interfacing with the server and configured to calculate a trade metric for each filled trade based on an executed trade price and the mark price;

wherein the metric calculation component is further configured to associate the trade metric for the executed transaction with a client account stored in the database; and

wherein the metric calculation component is further configured to calculate the trade metric for a plurality of transactions and to aggregate the resulting trade metrics for the client account into an aggregated trade metric.

7. The trading network of claim 6 , further comprising a categorization component, interfacing with the server and configured to categorize each client account into one of a plurality of trading categories based on the aggregated trade metric.

8. The trading network of claim 7 , wherein the categorization component is further configured to divide the trading network into trading pools and to limit access to the trading pools for each client account based on the categorization of each client account.

9. The trading network of claim 7 , wherein the financial exchange component is further configured to receive an average daily volume value for the financial instrument and wherein the categorization component is configured to receive the average daily volume and determine whether the financial instrument meets a threshold for liquidity.

10. The trading network of claim 9 , wherein the categorization component is further configured to categorize client accounts with respect to the trade metric and the liquidity threshold.

11. A trading network comprising:

a server interfacing with a database and configured to receive a market data feed from a public exchange;

a trade execution component interfacing with the server and configured to receive a trade order for a financial instrument from a client device and to fill the trade order;

a financial exchange component interfacing with the server and configured to receive market data from a public exchange, determine a mark price for the filled trade, and relay the market data and the mark price to the server; and

a metric calculation component interfacing with the server and configured to calculate a trade metric for each filled trade based on an executed trade price and the mark price;

wherein the metric calculation component is configured to adjust the trade metric when a client requesting the transaction execution is determined to be a liquidity provider.
