Prepare to delve deep into the intricacies of matching engine operations! This book is a treasure trove for brokers, brokerage staff, aspiring entrepreneurs eager to launch their own exchanges, and anyone curious about how exchanges work. The matching engine is a vital but often overlooked technology at the heart of exchanges. We’ll introduce the basics of how modern exchanges work, which is a small part of the larger picture aimed at demonstrating the situation’s complexity.
You will learn about the basics of how a modern exchange operates from the perspective of its central component. We will explore how traders typically express orders and how these orders are managed by exchanges and processed by the matching engine. We will focus on the critical design considerations that all exchanges must address when setting up their infrastructure. Additionally, we will introduce the competing considerations of reliability and performance and show how these can be balanced in different implementations.
