  • Publication number: 20250095065
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate to intelligently activating and deactivating a trading tool element of a trading tool to improve a user's confidence in the trading tool. By dynamically activating and deactivating elements on the trading screen, the trading tool effectively increases a user's confidence in placing a trading order, canceling a trade order, or both, for example, by eliminating or reducing undesirable options. Undesirable options might include those that are risky, contrary to a particular trading strategy, would result in a loss of money, and so on. Such an embodiment can improve the overall speed at which a user places or cancels a trade order by, among other things, effectively increasing the user's overall confidence in the trading tool.

  • Publication number: 20250078153
    Abstract: Methods and systems for user definable prioritization of market information are disclosed. An example method to prioritize market information displayed in a window within a trading interface includes updating the market information displayed in the window at a first frequency, wherein the first frequency is to correspond to a first window priority. The example method also includes, based on a trigger activation, assigning a second window priority to the window, wherein the second window priority is to cause the market information displayed in the window to update at a second frequency, the second frequency different from the first frequency.

  • Publication number: 20250037201
    Abstract: A system, method, and non-transitory computer-readable information recording medium allows a user or trader to prepare, and send to an exchange, a trade order using a trading device. The trading device receives market data from an exchange and displays the received market data on a display unit of the trading device. The trading device also receives a trade order instruction via an input device at the trading device and detecting an occurrence of a market update as a function of the received market data within an established trade order time period associated with a time at which the trade order was received. If the occurrence of the market update was detected during the established trade order time period, the execution of the trade order is prevented.

  • Patent number: 12159312
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to charting multiple markets. In some embodiments, charting multiple markets may include receiving market data for a plurality of tradeable objects. The plurality of tradeable objects may include an anchor object and at least one non-anchor object. The market data may include anchor object price data for the anchor object and non-anchor price data for the at least one non-anchor object. The non-anchor object price data may be converted based on the anchor object price data such that converted non-anchor object price data has a price scale of the anchor object price data. The anchor object price data and the non-anchor object price data may be displayed along a normalized price axis.

  • Publication number: 20240257246
    Abstract: Methods, system and articles of manufacture are disclosed including configurable order entry, matching, coordination and market data intervals. An example method to decouple order entry and matching of contra-side orders includes receiving a trade order during an order entry interval, wherein the order entry interval defines a first period. The example method also includes starting a matching interval at the expiration of the order entry interval, wherein the matching interval includes a second period and wherein the first period is contiguous to the second period. The example method further includes matching the trade order, during the matching interval, with one or more opposing tradable object trade orders received during the order entry interval, the trade order having a same price or same quantity as the one or more opposing trade orders.

  • Publication number: 20240161193
    Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to order entry. In the electronic trading process, order entry involves setting one or more order entry parameters, sending one or more order entry parameters, or both setting and sending one or more order entry parameters. As will be described in more detail below, various order entry actions, such as moving a cursor across an order entry line, moving a cursor into an order entry region, pressing an order entry button, or performing a gesture, may be used to trigger the setting, sending, or both setting and sending of one or more order entry parameters. At least some embodiments relate to enabling an order entry action before the order entry action is able to set, send, or both set and send one or more order entry parameters.
