Claim 16:
17. A computer implemented method comprising:
receiving, by an incoming order processor, prior to a match engine processor of an electronic trading system, an incoming order of a plurality of incoming orders for a transaction of a quantity of a financial instrument at an order price, wherein the match engine processor is characterized by a processing resource capacity and is operative to attempt to match the incoming order with a plurality of previously received but unsatisfied orders, wherein each of the plurality of previously received but unsatisfied orders is characterized by a time of receipt at which each previously received but unsatisfied order was received by the incoming order processor;
storing, by the incoming order processor, the received incoming order in an incoming order buffer memory;
determining, by an interval order processor, an occurrence of an event, wherein the event comprises a feedback signal indicative of available processing resource capacity of the match engine processor, wherein the feedback signal indicative of available processing resource capacity of the match engine processor regulates the electronic trading system to process the plurality of incoming orders according to available processing resource capacity of the match engine processor by regulating the incoming flow of the plurality of incoming orders relative to available processing resource capacity of the match engine processor; and
forwarding, by an order forwarder processor, upon the occurrence of the event, at least a subset of the stored received incoming orders to the match engine processor.
