1. A method for trade order management in an electronic trading environment, comprising:
- generating an order message by a first software application for a first trade order to buy or sell a tradable object at an electronic exchange in response to detecting a fill of a second trade order, the first trade order having an order quantity and an order price;
inserting an order descriptor identifier into the generated order message, wherein the order descriptor identifier comprises information that links the first trade order to the fill of the second trade order; and
using the order descriptor identifier to create an association between the first trade order and the fill of the second trade order, wherein the order descriptor is accessible by a second software application that is different from the first software application.
