Method for processing data messages in trading systems
The patent US12045885B2 outlines a method and system for updating a database in the context of an electronic marketplace or trading system. The method involves receiving a series of new data messages that include orders, identifying specific messages that meet a bypass condition—specifically, those that increase liquidity—and executing operations on these identified messages without delay. In contrast, operations related to other messages are delayed. The bypass condition may require that the order meets or exceeds a minimum volume, and the delay for other messages is calculated based on a base delay plus a variance, which can be selected randomly or pseudo-randomly, ensuring it does not exceed a predetermined maximum.
Additionally, the system described in the patent includes a communications interface for receiving data messages, memory for storing delayed messages, and a processor that identifies messages conforming to the bypass condition. The processor is responsible for calculating the delay and managing the execution of orders, ensuring that those enhancing liquidity are prioritized. The system also incorporates a database update process to evaluate incoming messages against the bypass condition and a delay thread to manage the timing of other messages. This structured approach aims to optimize order processing in electronic marketplaces by enhancing liquidity while managing the timing of other transactions.
