Abstract

A system for routing a trading order to a market center according to price comprises a memory and a processor. The memory stores policy information, cost information, and rebate information associated with a plurality of market centers. The processor receives a trading order specifying a trading product, a plurality of market center prices for the trading order, and best price information for the trading product. The processor adjusts at least one market center price according to the policy information of the corresponding market center and the best price information. The processor also adjusts at least one market center price according to at least one of the cost information and the rebate information of the corresponding market center. The processor then compares the plurality of market center prices, and selects a particular market center based at least in part upon the comparison.
