    establishing with the computing system an electronic communication link between the network device and a client device via the electronic network, said electronic communication link being configured to determine when the client device is ready for receiving market information based on receipt thereby of previously transmitted data and provide a feedback signal to the network device via the electronic network indicative of the receipt of the previously transmitted data and for informing the network device when the client device is ready to receive market information;

    receiving, via the electronic network by the network device of the computing system from the financial market center, the market information data feed containing updated data indicative of current market information for the financial instrument;

    storing with the computing system in the electronic memory coupled therewith, the received updated data indicative of current market information; and

    publishing, with the computing system, the stored data indicative of current market information to the client device when, based on the receipt of the feedback signal prior to the receipt of the updated data indicative of current market information, the electronic communication link has determined that the client device is ready to receive market information, and the stored updated data indicative of current market information to the client device when, based on the receipt of the feedback signal subsequent to the receipt of the updated data indicative of current market information, the electronic communication link has determined that the client device is ready to receive market information, wherein the publishing comprises serializing, by the computing system, the stored data or stored updated data indicative of current market information for transmission to the client device via the electronic network and transmitting, by the computing system, the serialized data or updated data indicative of current market information to the client device via the electronic network.
