  • Patent number: 10672071
    Abstract: A system and method for news-based trading are developed. According to one method, a trader can pre-define a trading strategy including a number of trading rules to be applied based on a comparison of one or more estimated event values to the respective actual event values to be released at some later time. The example method further includes, upon receiving one or more actual event values via a user input or directly from outside sources, executing one or more predefined trading rules selected based on the comparison of the received actual event values to the respective estimated indicator values.

  • Publication number: 20170109820
    Abstract: Slicer orders may be simulated by applying slicer information to historical market data. The slicer information may include order parameters that define the slicer order. The order parameters in the slicer information may be applied to the historical market data by identifying times and prices at which child orders may be placed, filled, and/or changed in the market data according to the defined parameters. Slicer order information and/or slicer performance information may be displayed to indicate the effects of changes to different order parameters on the performance of a slicer order in the market. The slicer order information may include order indicia that may indicate information related to one or more child orders that may be placed based on orders in the market data. The slicer performance information may be displayed to indicate the performance of defined slicer orders that are applied to a market.

  • Publication number: 20160371774
    Abstract: A risk metric may be generated for use in calculating a risk level associated with a user trading at an exchange. The risk metric may indicate a price level at which the market may be trading a tradeable object at the exchange. The risk metric may be communicated to computing devices to enable the computing devices to calculate the risk level associated with a user without having independent access to the real-time market data at an exchange. The risk metric may be calculated by averaging different price values in the market data to indicate a relative price at which the tradeable object may be trading at the exchange. The risk metric may be calculated as a market value that may be used by multiple users or as a user-specific value. The risk metric may be continuously updated and communicated to computing devices.

  • Publication number: 20140180900
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for displaying information related to a plurality of tradeable objects using a single graphical interface. One example graphical interface includes at least two screen regions displayed in relation to each other, with each region including a plurality of locations. Each location in the first screen region corresponds to a value along a first value axis, and each location in the second screen region corresponds to a value along a second value axis. The graphical interface also includes a first indicator in the first region and a second indicator in the second region. In response to a repositioning command based on an algorithm, the graphical interface includes a repositioned first value axis and the second value axis, such that the indicators are displayed in new locations determined based on the algorithm.
