I would not write a parser/compiler. I would consider embedding tcl (http://www.tcl.tk/) or python (http://www.python.org/) if I needed the ability to script. Check the licenses with your lawyer of course. I'm not sure if you need the ability to make things fully programable though. (This is partially my baises though, I don't like Perl or Visual Basic.)

Check how mail programs and firewalls do filters. There are lessions to be learned there, even though they won't all apply. Some mailers have GUIs that make is simple to write filters. I think you want to follow their examples.

Find out from your client what rules they are likely to want. Get them to dream, not everything can be done, but you want to know what they can come up with.

Since they are likely to write rules, make sure every rule as a max dollar amount it applies to before it flags someone to review. They can take the loss of $100 here and there from a broken rule, but if the rule triggures a trade that would cost them $1,000,000 they should review it by hand first. If you can come up with other ways to protect them from themselves do it. (careful here, you want to protect them from mistakes, not annoy them by flaging everything!)

Also make a simulator. Something so that they can make the rules, and test them on. Something other than real money. Perhaps keep a log of last weeks prices, so you can say "if this rule was in effect last week you would have traded ...". Give/recomend some books on software testing. (even if they never read them, at least you tried)
