Abstract

The Broker to Broker Matching Electronic Trading Confirmation system confirms and settles trade orders placed between brokers from various regions of the world. It automatically matches the originating broker's orders with the executing broker's confirmations, generates and sends settlement instructions to the broker's corresponding clearing agents, and allows those clearing agents to monitor orders before the orders are executed, minimizing risk and improving settlement rates.
