The trade matching engine is an online exchange’s fundamental software and hardware component. To execute trades, it connects bids and offers. Corresponding engines distribute rival bids and provide at the same price using one or more algorithms.
The most popular algorithm is time price priority, which means that bids, as well as offers, but first in the rendering engine, have precedence over similar proposals and offers entered later in the process.
Various flow types, such as limit and market orders, are supported by matching engines. Matching engines may employ custom APIs or standard APIs like FIX APIs.
