Computer trading apparatus

摘要

The system, and a method embodied in the same, comprises a unit (260) which receives trading data from aggregators, for storage in a database (250). The data is processed to check its validity and to determine trader credit/debit in the trading arrangement. The system is capable of activating ad hoc payments through a disputes handler (264) and a payment default handler (266). It also maintains a calendar of tasks associated with daily trade, to ensure that all days' processing can be handled in the limited number of available banking days. <IMAGE>
