Certain embodiments provide a method including determining a communication state of a trading device, the communication state based on one or more factors including a measured signal strength of a first channel, the trading device configured to utilize at least one of a first channel and a second channel to communicate. The example method includes comparing the communication state to a communication criterion. The example method includes reconfiguring, based on the comparison of the communication state to the communication criterion, the trading device from transmitting using only the first channel to transmitting using both the first channel and the second channel. The example method includes assigning a first identifier to a first trading order. The example method includes transmitting the first trade order to a server using both the first and the second channel, the first channel transmitting the first trade order using the first identifier in a first message and the second channel transmitting the first trade order using the first identifier in a second message such that the server is to process only one of the first message and the second message based on the first identifier and a time of receipt of the first message and the second message.
