Real-time deal engagement outcome determination
First Claim
1. Method for real-time deal engagement outcome determination for users of a deal engagement system, comprising the steps of in real time receiving a first taken position from a user;
- determining an outcome of each of a number of possible scenarios for said taken position;
storing said outcome of each of said possible number of scenarios;
determining a deal engagement outcome based on said stored outcome of the number of possible scenarios;
receiving at least one further taken position from said user;
for each received further taken position determine if said further taken position effects any of said outcomes of said number of possible scenarios;
if said further taken position effects any of said outcome of said number of possible scenarios then;
determine the net effect on said outcome;
modify said stored outcome of said number of possible scenarios by said net effect; and
modify said deal engagement outcome;
and if said further position taken does not effect any of said outcomes for said number of possible scenarios then;
determine a further outcome of a further number of possible scenarios;
storing said further outcome of said further number of possible scenarios;
determine a further deal engagement outcome; and
modify said deal engagement outcome by adding said further deal engagement outcome.

Abstract
A real-time deal engagement outcome determination method and system as well as a deal engagement system implementing the method are disclosed. The real-time deal engagement outcome determination is based on the determination of the outcome of possible scenarios for received taken positions and setting a combined outcome as the deal engagement outcome. Any further taken positions having an outcome that effects any previously determined outcome will be added to the deal engagement outcome by the net effect and any further taken positions having an outcome not effecting previously determined outcomes will be added to the deal engagement outcome by a combined outcome of the further position taken. By utilising only worst case scenarios a risk determination can be made and by utilising only maximum case scenarios a gain determination can be made.

14. Method for real-time deal engagement outcome determination, comprising the steps of in real time registering at least one taken position;
-
determine a current deal engagement outcome for said at least one taken position;
for each further registered taken position determine a net effect of said each further taken position on said current deal engagement outcome; and
modify said current deal engagement outcome by said net effect. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. Deal engagement system, comprising an input for receiving information regarding a number of taken positions with respect to an event initiated by a user, where a taken position can include one or more of a quote, a request, an order, a bid and an offer, a matching engine associated with the input for matching positions taken with respect to each event, an order book associated with the matching unit for storing un-matched positions and a deal engagement outcome determination unit associated with the matching engine and the order book for determining a deal engagement outcome for each user, whereby the deal engagement outcome determination unit is designed to determine a deal engagement outcome for each user based on the number of taken positions, which deal engagement outcome determination represents a combined outcome result for all possible scenarios that the number of taken positions can result in.

17. System for real-time deal engagement matching comprising,
means for entering a number of taken positions in relation to a number of deal objects, means for determining possible scenario outcomes for entered taken positions having a common denominator, and means for determining a deal engagement outcome as a combined outcome of said possible scenarios.

20. Real-time deal engagement outcome determination system comprising;
-
an input for receiving a taken position;
a determination unit for determining a deal engagement outcome for said taken position in real-time;
a memory for storing said deal engagement outcome; and
an output for outputting said deal engagement outcome. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
