Project details

• Company 
  The company is a Futures Brokers company based in USA, being desirous of having a simulation system for stock exchange, using which they could launch contests using dummy instruments and money. They already had all other mechanisms except the order matching engine for the simulation system. 
  
• Industry
  Finance (Equities, Futures & Options Trading) 
  
• Platform
  C# (.Net 2005) 
  
• Solution
  The Order Matching Engine (OME) is the core part of the simulation system. It is responsible to manage the order book and perform order matching for different orders placed. The OME needs to be highly robust, Real Time, Reliable. OME is developed in C# (Dot Net 2005) and uses MS SQL Server 2005 for persistent data storage. 
  
• Features List
  
  1. Real time Order Matching
  2. Handles GTC and DAY orders
  3. Optimized to run on parallel processors
  4. Load Balancing on parallel processors
  5. Supports Equities, Options as well as Futures
  6. EOD (End of Day) Processing
