Abstract

Multiple securities processors each process attributable security interest messages generated by market participants. Each of these attributable security interest messages relates to a specific security chosen from a plurality of securities traded on the securities trading system, such that each individual security is assigned to one or more of the securities processors. An order routing system routes each attributable security interest message to one of the securities processors.
