ABSTRACT: We explain how electronic markets work, specifically
 for Eurodollar futures, where the matching algorithm for trading
 is pro-rata. This matching method leads investors to
 over-subscribe limit orders to get their desired quantity of lots
 with a risk of over-trading. Therefore, speed and latency play an
 important role, and not only for canceling remaining lots but for
 trading in fast reactions like after an economic announcement.
 We model traded volume to find the optimal parameters for
 maximizing returns through an over-subscription strategy.
