A system and method for mitigating the effects of transit time latency in the execution of global trade orders at remote exchange servers utilizes a generated complex order. End users with certain trading protocols directed to their asset classes provide the co-located server with their trading parameters, and further personalize their trade orders by establishing rules for executing the orders at each co-located server. This is known as their complex order. A deployed strategy engine generates a virtual machine at each co-located server, which thus allows the co-located server to execute complex orders received from the end user. The end user may modify or delete the complex order at each co-located server at any time. Transit time latency issues are drastically reduced under this system and method.
