Abstract:
Tools for trading and monitoring a commodity on an electronic exchange using a graphical user interface and a user input device. The tools will aid the trader in determining the status, trends in the market, and the trader's position in the market.
Abstract:
Example methods, apparatus, and computer readable storage media are described and disclosed. An example method includes receiving, by a computing device, market data related to a tradeable object. The example method includes displaying, by the computing device, a flexible price-volume indicator, the flexible price-volume indicators aligned with a specific value level in a value axis. The example method includes updating, by the computing device, a display property associated with the flexible price-volume indicator, the display property reflecting a quantity value determined based on the received market data. The example method includes displaying, by the computing device, the flexible price-volume indicator in a differentiated state based on a change in the market data.
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for trading multiple tradeable objects. One example method includes displaying at least one combined quantity indicator representing a combined quantity associated with at least two tradeable objects, detecting an input associated with an order for a predetermined order quantity in relation to one of the combined quantity indicators, and allocating the order quantity between the at least two tradeable objects using at least one quantity allocation rule. In one example embodiment, a plurality of quantity allocation rules can be user-configurable, and different rules can be defined and applied in relation to different order types.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments provide methods, tangible computer storage medium, and systems of distribution of market data updates in an electronic trading system. An example method includes assigning a first wireless device of a plurality of wireless devices to access a first update of common market data from an exchange and a second wireless device of the plurality of wireless devices to access a second update of the common market data from the exchange upon receiving a handoff indicator. The example method also includes accessing the first update via a first network between the exchange and the first wireless device and relaying the handoff indicator to the second wireless device after the first update is accessed. The second wireless device is to access the second update from the exchange via a second network after the handoff indicator is received from the first wireless device.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments provide systems and methods to calculate and display a normalized risk for one or more traders. An example method includes converting a profit and loss amount associated with a first trader to a first trader unit value, the first trader unit value associated with an increment. The example method includes normalizing the first trader unit value based on a risk scale to provide a first normalized unit value for the trader. The example method includes displaying the first normalized unit value for the trader in a ranking of one or more traders based on the normalized unit value for each trader. The example method includes comparing the first normalized unit value to a risk criterion. The example method includes enabling or impeding a trade action by the trader based on the comparing of the normalized unit value to the risk criterion.
Abstract:
Example methods, systems, and computer readable media are disclosed to enable a trading system using a trading device and a companion device. An example method includes identifying, at a first trading device, a first trading interface selected at a second trading device. The first trading interface includes first trading data. The example method includes displaying a first companion interface at the first trading device. The first companion interface is associated with the first trading interface. The example method includes determining whether to update the first companion interface or to display a second companion interface based on activity at the second trading device. The example method includes updating the first companion interface if the first trading data is altered at the first trading interface. The example method includes displaying a second companion interface at the first trading device if a second trading interface is selected at the second trading device. The second companion interface is associated with the second trading interface.
Abstract:
A system, method, and non-transitory computer-readable information recording medium displays information to a user. Market data related to a plurality of tradeable objects is received from an exchange at a trading device. The display of market data related to each tradeable object is separately controlled. If the user is not paying attention to the market data of a particular tradeable object, then the dissemination of the market data for that tradeable object may be temporarily stopped until the user starts paying attention to that tradeable object.

Abstract:
A client device coalesces data received from an exchange, and provides a client application such as a graphical user interface with the opportunity to process fewer, but up-to-date, data updates from an exchange when a large volume of prices becomes available. Accordingly, the trader can be assured of receiving updated information that are fed to the client applications at a rate that is cohesive with that client device's processing speed.
Abstract:
A tool and method for transmitting and displaying market depth information associated with a tradeable object trading in a market is disclosed. The tool and method provide a mechanism by which market depth information may be withheld when the change in market depth information is not sufficiently significant. In response to transmitting market depth information, the market depth information is displayed using indicators associated with range instead of a value.
