Abstract: A method and system for providing automatic execution of gray box trading strategies for electronic trading. A gray box trading entity is created from two or more real or synthetic trading entities including real or synthetic contracts or financial instruments. The gray box trading entity includes a black box portion (automatic trade execution) and a white box portion (manual trade execution). An electronic trader selects trades for black box and white box trades in the gray box trading entity. The trades can be dynamically changed. Selected trades for gray box trading entity are automatically traded with a black box trading entity on one or more electronic trading exchanges while a trader is prompted to manually execute selected other trades for the gray box trading entity with a white box trading entity.

Abstract: A method and system for providing electronic option trading bandwidth reduction and risk management and assessment for multi-market electronic trading. Data streams including electronic option trading information are split into plural individual data streams by a server network device and/or one or more network interface cards (NICs). The individual data streams are made available to target network devices using less network bandwidth and fewer processing cycles that would be required to process the whole data including the electronic option trading information. The option trading risk assessment and management information includes an “integrated viewpoint” that aggregates an option trader's activities across all their electronic option trading accounts, their current and historical option trades and option trade locations on all option trading exchanges.

Abstract: A method and system for providing automatic execution of black box trading strategies for electronic trading. A black box trading entity is created from two or more real or synthetic trading entities including real or synthetic contracts or financial instruments. The black box trading entity is automatically traded via one or more electronic trading exchanges on a client device and/or a server device and/or a combination thereof, thereby making the execution of electronic trades for the black box trading entity faster and more reliable than when executing on one network device alone.

Abstract: An electronic trading platform provides a system and methods including an interface for presenting market data and receiving user input for entering orders to buy and sell financial instruments on an exchange. The interface includes an order entry window adapted to display price information relating to a financial instrument traded on the exchange. The price information is presented as a portion of price spectrum including all possible prices for the financial instrument. The portion of the price spectrum is presented within the order entry window in a first dynamic mode when operational focus is on an interface window other than the order entry window, and the portion of the price spectrum is presented within the order entry window in a static or partially static order entry mode when operational focus is on the order entry window.

Abstract: A method and system for electronic trading from smart phones and tablet computers. A selection input (e.g., a bar code, alphanumeric form, etc.) is received from a camera component on a smart network device application on the smart phone or tablet including one or more trading orders to execute one or more electronic trades. The one or more trading orders are extracted from the selection input on the smart network device application. The one or more electronic trades are automatically executed using one or more electronic trading orders extracted from the selection input from an Ask Bid Volume/Aggregated Book View (ABV) window with a dynamic price column.

Abstract: A method and system for providing real-time electronic information for risk assessment and management for multi-market electronic trading. The method and system dramatically improve an infrastructure used by electronic traders over a communications network by separating one or more data streams from one or more trading exchange with plural different types of electronic trading information into plural separate data streams that can be selectively used on a target device. The plural separate data streams and can be requested, displayed and used faster and more efficiently than an entire data stream including all the multiple types of electronic trading information for real-time risk assessment and management.

Abstract: A method and system for providing automatic electronic trading via yield curves. The method and system allow automatic execution of electronic trades with yield curve trading strategies and yield curve trading indicators that that have reached a pre-determined yield curve trading limits. The yield curve trading values that have reached the pre-determined yield curve trading limits are also displayed visually in a graphical three-dimensional (3D) format to provide additional visual indicators on a graphical user interface used for electronic trading via yield curves.

Abstract: A method and system for providing automatic execution of black box trading strategies for electronic trading. A black box trading entity is created from two or more real or synthetic trading entities including real or synthetic contracts or financial instruments. The black box trading entity is automatically traded via one or more electronic trading exchanges.

Abstract: A method and system for providing electronic trading via yield curves. The method and system allow automatic execution of electronic trades with yield curve trading strategies using real, synthetic, black box, spread, and supply differential yield curve trading information.

Abstract: A method and system for automatic execution of risk-controlled synthetic trading entities. Risk parameters are generated for two or more real trading entities that comprise a synthetic trading entity. Risk assessments are generated for the resulting synthetic trading entity from the risk parameters. Current and historical trading information is used to generate the risk parameters and risk assessments. Market prices for the real trading entities to keep the automatic risk-controlled synthetic trading entity at a desired synthetic market price level whenever selected risk assessments exceed one or more pre-determined risk thresholds.

Abstract: A method and system for providing multiple graphical user interfaces for electronic trading is provided. Electronic trading information is obtained on an application on a target device from one or more electronic trading exchanges. The electronic trading information is displayed on a multi-windowed graphical user interface (GUI) with a number of alternative output displays with dynamic columns in plural different types of output displays in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) modes.

Abstract: A method and system for providing dynamic display of electronic trading information for trading risk-controlled spreads. The method and system allow spreads to be automatically inputted, executed, monitored and managed via plural different risk controls on one or more trading exchanges. The method and system provide automatic readjustment of desired market limit prices using one or more pre-determined spread trading risk factors and market depth information to maintain a desired price differential and a desired risk level for the automatic risk-controlled spread.

Abstract: A method and system for providing configurable features for a multi-windowed graphical user interface (GUI) for electronic trading. The configurable features include, but are not limited to, creating collective windows comprising plural individual windows, where the collective window functions like an individual window, collapsing plural windows with a single action and changing display characteristics of the plural windows or the collective windows. The method and system allows a user of a target device to customize the multi-windowed GUI based on individual user preferences for electronic trading.

Abstract: A method and system for providing multiple graphical user interfaces for electronic trading is provided.
