A CONFIGURABLE SECURITY PROCESSOR IDENTIFIER TABLE

摘要

A market participant (12) places an order 12, which is transmitted to computerized trading system (16) via network (20). Upon receipt of the order (12), a security look-up process (56) parses the order (12) to determine the security to which the order relates by retrieving the related ticker symbol of the security. Security look-up process (56) accesses configurable look-up table (50) table to determine the securities processor to which the ticker symbol is assigned. Once a determination is made, a messaging process (58) populates the header of the message to include an identifier for that securities processor.
