A trading engine receives quotes for a derivative in penny increments from at least one entity. The trading engine rounds out the quotes for the derivative in penny increments to quotes for the derivative in nickel/dime increments. The quotes in nickel/dime increments are aggregated and disseminated. The trading engine receives bids and offers to take positions in the derivative based on the aggregate quotes for the derivative in nickel/dime increments and executes trades for the derivative by matching bids and offers to buy and sell positions in the derivative.

Description

    RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/416,711 (still pending), filed May 3, 2006, claims priority to Provisional U.S. Patent Application No. 60/678,267, filed May 5, 2005, the entirety of each of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
    • BACKGROUND
  • Currently, a single trading facility such as an exchange may offer over 100,000 of its own derivative products and handle over 650 million quotes per day for all derivative products. The large number of quotes per day for derivative products causes practical problems for trading facilities to efficiently handle the large amounts of data associated with quotes.
  • Many of the quotes for derivative products are quotes for a small number of derivatives with similar prices. The problems associated with the large amounts of data created by quotes on derivative products will increase if the format for derivative quotes changes from the current nickel/dime increments to penny increments. Buy and sell orders for derivatives are currently offered in nickel increments for derivatives costing under $3.00 and dime increments for derivatives costing over $3.00. Investors desire the ability to submit buy and sell orders in smaller monetary increments for derivatives. However, changing the standard for derivative quotes from nickel/dime increments to penny increments will greatly increase the number of derivative quotes, and thus the amount of data that must be handled by the trading facilities. It would therefore be desirable to have a way to trade derivatives in smaller monetary increments while avoiding increased data traffic.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • Accordingly, the present invention relates to a system and method for trading derivatives in penny increments while disseminating quotes for derivatives in nickel/dime increments. In a first aspect, a trading engine receives quotes for a derivative in penny increments from at least one entity. The trading engine rounds out the quotes for the derivative in penny increments to quotes for the derivative in nickel/dime increments. The quotes in nickel/dime increments are aggregated and disseminated. The trading engine receives bids and offers to take positions in the derivative based on the aggregate quotes for the derivative in nickel/dime increments and executes trades for the derivative by matching bids and offers to buy and sell positions in the derivative.
  • In a second aspect, a trading engine comprises a communication module, a rounding module, an aggregating module, and a dissemination quote module. The communication module receives quotes for derivative in penny increments from market participants. The rounding module receives the quote for derivatives in penny increments and rounds out the quotes to quotes for the derivative in nickel/dime increments. The aggregating module receives the quotes for the derivative in nickel/dime increments and aggregating the quotes. Finally, the dissemination quote module disseminates the aggregated quotes for the derivative in nickel/dime increments.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method of trading derivates on an exchange in penny increments while disseminating quotes for derivatives in nickel/dime increments; and
  • FIG. 2 is a chart of a hybrid trading system comprising a trading engine for trading derivatives in penny increments while disseminating quotes for derivatives in nickel/dime increments.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENTLY PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • FIG. 1 shows a flow chart for one embodiment of a method of trading derivatives on an exchange in increments of hundredths of a monetary unit, such as a penny, while disseminating quotes for derivatives in increments of twentieths/tenths of a monetary unit, such as a nickel/dime. Generally, entities inside an exchange such as a broker or a market maker would be permitted to send quotes to the exchange in penny increments at 102. A trading engine within the exchange receives the quotes in penny increments at 104; rounds out the quotes in penny increments to quotes in nickel/dime increments at 106; aggregates individual quotes in nickel/dime increments at 108; disseminates the aggregate nickel/dime quotes at 110; receives offers to take positions in derivatives based on the aggregate nickel/dime quotes at 112; executes buy and sell orders for the derivatives based on the aggregate nickel/dime quotes at 114; and disseminate the result of the buy and sell order execution in penny increments at 116.
  • As seen in FIG. 2, the method of FIG. 1 may be implemented in an engine 25 on any system 10 implementing an electronic exchange at least in part. One example of an exchange implementing an electronic exchange at least in part as shown in FIG. 2 is the Hybrid Trading System disclosed in U.S. patent Ser. No. 10/423,201, filed Apr. 24, 2003, the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference. The engine 25 may be hardware, software, or firmware or any other device known in the art that is hardwired or programmed to perform the method of FIG. 1, and may further include various modules for functions such as a communication, rounding, aggregating, dissemination and matching as detailed herein.
  • Referring again to FIG. 1, entities inside an exchange are permitted to send quotes to the exchange in penny increments at 102. Examples of entities which are inside an exchange include broker/dealers registered to trade for themselves and/or on behalf of others at the exchange, market makers who are registered to trade at the exchange and the like.
  • A trading engine within the exchange rounds out the quotes in penny increments to quotes in nickel/dime increments at 104. Rounding out a quote means that the price of the quote in penny increments is rounded to the nearest possible nickel/dime quote that can be executed by the exchange. For example, if a first entity registered with the exchange submits a quote for 1.01-1.04 20×20 (bid-offer bid volume×offer volume), the quote would be rounded out to 1.00-1.05 20×20. The bid at 1.01 is rounded out to 1.00 because the bid must be quoted in nickel increments, and the first registered entity is not willing to buy the derivative at 1.05. Therefore, the bid is rounded out to 1.00 because it is equal to or less than the highest price in nickel increments that the first entity is willing to pay for a derivative. The exchange will not quote a price that cannot be executed. Thus, any bid between 1.00 and 1.04 will be rounded out (down) to 1.00, any bid between 3.50 to 3.59 will be rounded out (down) to 3.50, and so on.
  • Similarly, the offer for 1.04 is rounded to 1.05 because the offer must be quoted in nickel increments, and the first registered entity is not willing to sell the derivative for 1.00. The exchange will not disseminate a quote that creates an offer price lower than the first entity is willing to receive for selling a derivative. Thus, any offer between 1.01 and 1.05 will be rounded out (up) to 1.05; any offer between 3.41 and 3.50 will be rounded out (up) to 3.50, and so on.
  • The individual quotes in nickel/dime increments are aggregated at 108. Aggregating the quotes preferably means that after the quotes from each entity have been rounded out (up or down), the quotes are summed so that they appear as one large quote. For example, if a first quote was received at 1.01-1.04 20×20 and a second quote was received at 1.01-1.03 20×20, the first quote would be rounded out to 1.00-1.05 20×20 and the second quote would be rounded out to 1.00-1.05 20×20 according to the process described above. The first and second quotes would then be aggregated so that a quote of 1.00-1.05 40×40 would then be disseminated from the exchange such that the first and second quote appear as a single larger quote.
  • The exchange disseminates the aggregate nickel/dime quotes at 110. The aggregate nickel/dime quotes may be disseminated over networks such as the Options Price Reporting Authority (“OPRA”) or an Internet website. Accordingly, the potentially numerous penny increment quotes are reduced to an aggregate quote at the standard nickel or dime increments so that the amount of quote data transmitted to the reporting entity is maintained at a more manageable level. In one embodiment, the exchange may additionally disseminate an indicator with the aggregate nickel/dime quote to be reported over OPRA or an Internet website notifying market participants that a penny-increment quote which is better than the aggregate nickel/dime quote is available at the exchange.
  • The exchange receives offers to take positions in derivatives based on the aggregate nickel/dime quotes at 112 and the trading engine executes buy and sell orders for the derivatives based on the aggregate nickel/dime quotes at 114. When trades are executed, the price paid or received for a derivative are preferably those in the original (penny increment) quote and not necessarily the value in the rounded out quote. For example, if a quote is received at 1.01-1.04 20×20, the quote is rounded out to 1.00-1.05 20×20 and disseminated. If an order is received that can be traded with the bid of 20 shares at 1.00, the entity will actually trade with a better bid of 20 shares at 1.01. If an alternative order is received that can traded with the offer of 20 shares at 1.05, the order will actually be traded with a better offer of 20 shares at 1.04. In other words, an order that trades against an aggregated quote will receive the best prices/volumes of the penny increment quotes making up the aggregate quote.
  • In an alternative embodiment, when the trading engine executes buy and sell orders for the derivatives based on the aggregate nickel/dime quotes at 114, the trades are executed at whatever price can clear the total order regardless of whether the original quote may have had a better price. For example, if the exchange receives a first quote of 0.95-1.03 20×20, a second quote of 0.96-1.04 20×20, and a third quote of 0.97-1.05 20×20, after the three quotes are rounded out and aggregated, the exchange disseminates a quote of 0.95-1.05 60×60. If an order is received for 20 derivatives at 1.05, 20 derivatives will be sold at 1.03 of the original bid.
  • However, if an order is received for 40 derivatives at 1.05, all 40 derivatives will be sold for 1.04 due to the fact that 1.04 is the best price that the total order can be cleared for, even though 20 of the derivatives could have been bought at a better price of 1.03. Similarly, if an order is received for 60 derivatives at 1.05, all 60 derivatives will be sold for 1.05 due to the fact that 1.05 is the best price that the total order can be cleared for, even though 20 of the derivatives could have been bought at the better price of 1.03 and 20 of the derivatives could have been bought at the better price of 1.04.
  • When executing buy and sell orders for the derivatives based on the aggregate nickel/dime quotes at 114, the trading engine may also utilize trade quote locks. Trade quote locks are necessary when a bid price and an offer price from two entities within the exchange are the same and fall on a nickel/dime increment. When a trade quote lock is initiated, a delay timer is started and the trading engine prevents the entities with the locked quotes from trading with each other for a predetermined period of time. One benefit of rounding out and aggregating penny quotes is that the exchange may avoid the occurrence of quote locks at the penny increment level unless the quotes lock at the standard (nickel/dime) increment.
  • After executing the buy and sell orders at 114, the trading engine disseminates the result of the execution of the buy and sell orders in penny increments at 116. The trading engine may disseminate the result of the execution of the buy and sell order in penny increments over networks such as OPRA or an Internet website so that market participants may view the result of the execution in penny increments.
  • It will be appreciated that even though the above describes penny increments, the same method and trading engine can be used for fractional-penny increments.
  • It is therefore intended that the foregoing detailed description be regarded as illustrative rather than limiting, and that it be understood that it is the following claims, including all equivalents, that are intended to define the spirit and scope of this invention.
