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 on a trading interface with a dynamic price column. Prices displayed in dynamic price column are continuously, dynamically and automatically updated as a current market price changes. The trading interface includes a plurality of order entry modes to slow a display speed of the dynamic price column to a speed slower than a default display speed for the dynamical price column so an electronic trading order can be entered without missing a desired trade.

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 risk assessment and management reporting via dynamic total net worth for multi-market electronic trading. The method and system allow risk assessment management and reporting to be determined using current and historical trading losses for dynamically calculated current total net worth values for electronic trading at a trading firm, a trading firm office and a trading account. Risk thresholds are selectively and dynamically configurable for automatically displaying risk information for and automatically disabling electronic trading when risk thresholds are exceeded. Risk information is displayed in two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) display elements.

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 risk management, reporting and assessment for multi-market electronic trading. The method and system allow risk assessment management and reporting to be determined using current and historical trading losses over a pre-determined trading period compared against a pre-determined percentage of current and historical net worth values for electronic trading at a trading firm, a trading firm office and a trading account. Risk thresholds are selectively and dynamically configurable for automatically displaying risk information for and automatically disabling electronic trading when risk thresholds are exceeded.

Abstract: A method and system for electronic options trading on a graphical user interface. One or more sets of electronic option trading information are automatically displayed in a graphical in a dynamic option information column in a market depth format. The information displayed in the dynamic option information column is dynamically selectable and changeable based on electronic option trading preferences. The dynamic option information column is automatically and dynamically re-centered upon a current selected graphical option information entity displayed in the dynamic option information column that continuously and dynamically changes with changes in the dynamic option information displayed. Risk management and assessment for electronic options trading is also provided.

Abstract: A method and system for providing multi-market electronic trading with cloud computing. Electronic trading is provided via cloud computing network using public networks, private networks, community networks and hybrid networks. The cloud computing network provides on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity and measured trading services for electronic trading. The method and system dramatically improve a trading infrastructure used by electronic traders by providing electronic trading using less bandwidth and less processing cycles via the cloud computing network than via a non-cloud computing network.

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.
