Abstract
Financial instruments are traded within an electronic marketplace. A proposed trade is received from one market constituent. Trade probabilities representing an estimate that the proposed trade can occur between the party entering the trade and other parties participating in the market are determined. The proposed trades are then presented to other participants in the marketplace, along with (or in some cases coded according to) the trade probabilities.
