Compression of fluctuating data

A computer-implemented method including:

• executing, by a processor, a zero-value-spread compression scheme on a plurality of data elements corresponding to one or more electronic transactions by computing first and second remnant data elements, the plurality of data element stored in memory;
• determining, by the processor, that a remnant flow corresponding to the first and second remnant data elements differs from a pre-compression flow for the one or more electronic transactions;
• executing, by the processor, compression loss correction by computing a remnant spread value;
• and
• replacing, by the processor, plurality of data elements in the memory with the first and second remnant data elements and/or the remnant spread value to reduce the stored memory size for the one or more electronic transactions.
