- detecting, by a computer device, that at least a portion of an order quantity of a first order for a first tradeable object was filled at a first price by a first electronic matching process corresponding to the first tradeable object, wherein the first order is associated with a trading strategy comprising at least the first tradeable object and a second tradeable object, and wherein the trading strategy further comprises a desired price for the trading strategy;
determining, by the computer device, a plurality of quantities for a plurality of offset orders for the second tradeable object to offset the at least a portion of the order quantity of the first order that was filled, wherein the plurality of quantities are determined according to a quantity allocation rule that is used to divide an offset order quantity for the second tradeable object between the plurality of offset orders, wherein the offset order quantity is based on at least the portion of the order quantity that was filled and further based on the trading strategy;
determining, by the computer device, a plurality of prices for the plurality of offset orders, wherein the plurality of prices are determined based on the first price of the first order, further based on the desired spread price, and further based on a fractional pay-up tick value; and

Abstract
A system and associated methods are provided for use of fractional pay-up ticks in relation to offset orders being sent for a trading strategy that involves trading a first tradeable object and at least a second tradeable object. According to one example method, when an indication is received that a quantity at a first price for the first tradeable object is filled, a plurality of offset orders for the second tradeable object is sent to an electronic order book of the second tradeable object. The plurality of offset orders is placed at a plurality of price levels determined based on at least one fractional pay-up tick value, the first price, and the desired spread price. A quantity for each order is determined based on a quantity divider rule that is applied to an offset quantity to offset the fill.
