Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for trading financial interests lack efficient mechanisms for aggregating market data across multiple networked venues, leading to disparities among market participants and difficulties in compliance with regulatory reporting requirements.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a system that uses smart order routers and a consolidated market view processor to aggregate and parse market data from multiple electronic trading venues, providing market participants with a unified view of market data, including generic and participant-specific information, while reducing alignment errors through latency offset calculations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If market participants access multiple networked venues independently, then each participant can trade on individual venues, but disparities arise among participants and compliance with regulatory reporting becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess capabilityVSAvoidcompliance reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments market data from multiple venues into participant-specific views and generic views, allowing customized access while maintaining centralized control for regulatory compliance. Each participant receives tailored data relevant to their trading activities across different venues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The consolidated market view processor acts as an intermediary between multiple trading venues and market participants, aggregating data centrally and distributing it in a compliant manner. This mediator ensures uniform regulatory reporting while enabling broad market access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If a system aggregates market data from multiple venues, then a unified view is provided, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides aggregated market data into distinct segments: participant-specific data and generic market data. This segmentation simplifies processing by allowing different data handling pathways while maintaining complete information aggregation from all venues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The consolidated market view processor performs multiple functions: aggregating data from various venues, parsing and normalizing different data formats, generating participant-specific views, and ensuring regulatory compliance. This multi-functional approach reduces overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Measurement precision

If latency offset calculations are implemented, then alignment errors are reduced, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata alignment precisionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system calculates latency offsets in advance for each trading venue and applies them proactively to incoming market data. This preliminary timing adjustment eliminates alignment errors before data processing begins, rather than correcting them afterward.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces mechanical synchronization methods with computational latency offset calculations. By using software-based time adjustment algorithms, the system achieves precise data alignment without the delays associated with physical synchronization mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
