Data transaction processing requests are received from user terminals over one or more data communications networks. Pending data transaction processing requests are stored in a memory queue. Each pending data transaction processing request has associated attributes and an associated queue number. A higher queue number associated with a pending data transaction processing request indicates a lower data transaction processing priority than a lower queue number associated with a pending data transaction processing request. Data message information is transmitted to user terminals that includes an identifier and a current status for pending data transaction processing requests stored in queue. A current data transaction processing request is received having an identifier for selecting a first pending data transaction processing request that has an associated queue number of two or higher over a lower queue number associated with a second pending data transaction processing request. Both the first pending data transaction processing request and the second pending data transaction processing request have associated attributes that match attributes of the current data transaction processing request. The current data transaction processing request is matched with the first pending data transaction processing request without matching the second pending data transaction processing request associated with the lower queue number.
