System and method for publishing liquidity replenishment prices in a hybrid auction market
First Claim
1. A method implemented by a securities exchange at least partially in a programmed computer for publishing security offer information, the method comprising:
- determining by the programmed computer, a current best offer price for a particular security;
determining by the programmed computer, a sweep liquidity offer price, where the sweep liquidity offer price is a first price difference greater than the current best offer price for the particular security;
determining by the programmed computer, a lowest price of the particular security within an immediately preceding time period;
determining by the programmed computer, a momentum liquidity offer price, where the momentum liquidity offer price is a second price difference greater than the lowest price of the particular security within the immediately preceding time period, and wherein the sweep liquidity offer price and the momentum liquidity offer price are price points at which the market for the particular security converts from automatic execution to auction market trading only without automatic execution, and automatic execution of the particular security resumes only after passage of a predetermined time;
determining by the programmed computer, whether the sweep liquidity offer price is less than or greater than the momentum liquidity offer price;
publishing by the programmed computer, the sweep liquidity offer price as the most restrictive offer liquidity price, if the sweep liquidity offer price is less than the momentum liquidity offer price; and
publishing by the programmed computer, the momentum liquidity offer price as the most restrictive offer liquidity price, if the sweep liquidity offer price is greater than the momentum liquidity offer price.

Abstract
The system and method determines both a sweep liquidity offer price, and a momentum liquidity offer price. If the sweep liquidity offer price is less than the momentum liquidity offer price, the system and method publishes the sweep liquidity offer price. If the sweep liquidity offer price is greater than the momentum liquidity offer price, the system and method publishes the momentum liquidity offer price. In a similar fashion the system and method determines a sweep liquidity bid price and a momentum liquidity bid price, they are compared and the system and method publishes one.
