The spread data feed is preferably displayed in a spread window as bid and ask quantities associated with an axis or scale of prices. The user can enter orders in the spread window and the legs will be automatically worked to achieve, or attempt to achieve, the spread. In addition, other tools disclosed herein may be utilized to assist the user in making such trades.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2012Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Pablo, LLCInventors: Gary Allan Kemp, II, Jens-Uwe Schluetter, Mike Burns, Scott Singer, Fred Monroe, David Babulak, Harris Brumfield

Publication number: 20140129415Abstract: A system and method for money management in an electronic trading environment are presented. According to one embodiment, a trader may configure a plurality of filters, each including at least one filter criteria and filter condition. When a money management module detects a new order, the money management module intercepts the order and determines if the order matches one or more predefined filters. If the order matches one or more filters then conditions associated with the applicable filter(s) are applied to the order. The application of one or more conditions to an order may result in sending a modified order, preventing the order from reaching the exchange, or sending order to the exchange without any modifications.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2014Publication date: May 8, 2014Applicant: TRADING TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Michael J.
