DISCOVERY, VISUALIZATION, COMMUNICATION, ALERTING, CAPTURE AND SUBSEQUENT REPORTING OF USER ACTIONS AND MARKET INFORMATION

摘要

A system for conducting over the counter trades, the system comprising a first initiating party's computer system; a second responding party's computer system; and a Central Communication Hub in contact with the first and second parties' computer systems. The first system enables a user to input a trading interest in a financial instrument, and send information indicative of the trading interest to the Central Communication Hub. The Central Communication Hub makes a hidden request for information to the second system indicative of the second party's ability to fulfil the trading interest. The second system responds to the hidden request for information with summary information indicative of the second party's ability to fulfil the trading interest. The Central Communication Hub forwards some or all of the summary information response to the first party's system.
