Matching and Priority

Status Draft briefPart Market Mechanics

Matching rules decide which compatible orders trade and which resting order receives an execution first.

Central questions

  • How do price-time, pro-rata, size, and allocation rules differ?
  • Which order changes retain or lose priority?
  • What behavior does each rule encourage?

Planned model

Apply the same arriving orders under price-time and pro-rata priority. Display allocations, queue movement, amendments, and participant incentives.
