ELECTRONIC TRADING AUCTION WITH ORDERS INTERPRETED USING FUTURE INFORMATION

摘要

Exemplary embodiments are related to processing electronic trading orders in an electronic trading exchange environment. Electronic trading orders can be accepted from auction participants' electronic devices in a first time period of an electronic auction. A random time delay can be applied in response to expiration of the first time period and the electronic trading orders can be randomly sorted to generate one or more order queues. The electronic trading orders can be matched based on a randomized sequence of electronic orders defined by such order queues. In exemplary embodiments, the electronic trading environment can accept parameterized orders having one or more unspecified parameters. The parameterized orders can be transformed into concrete orders after the parameterized orders are accepted using future information ascertained at some randomized time after the first time period has expired.
