Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided for forecasting the transaction costs of a trade using empirical data and user-defined modeling constraints based on real-time data regarding changes in market conditions. In preferred embodiments, the invention acts as a forecaster whereby it accepts inputs from customers and identifies real-time market analytics, and provides dynamically adjusted ex ante cost estimates and metrics for the prevailing market conditions. Specific cost estimation and optimization algorithms can be provided to model transaction costs of a specific trade based on empirical data and real-time variables.

Abstract: A network communication system and method are provided. The system and method communicate in a electronic trading environment and receive and send signals representing trading information in order to determine trading cost for trading pairs of currencies. In an embodiment, the system may request electronic price quotes from the set of electronic trading venues and may receive the electronic price quotes over a network. The system and method generates a cost curves that relates trading cost to order size for a plurality of order sizes. The system and method may determine trading costs for an electronic trade order based on the cost curves.

Abstract: A trading platform computer system for detecting an abnormal trading condition of a security uses real-time and estimated values of one or more variables associated with the condition of the security to generate one or more analytic metrics that are compared to empirical distributions based on one or more peer groups for the security. An indicator can then be displayed to a trader as an indication of the abnormal condition.

Abstract: A method for forecasting the transaction cost of a portfolio trade execution that may be applied to any given trading strategy or an optimal trading strategy that minimizes transaction costs. The system accepts user-defined input variables from customers and generates a transaction cost estimation report based on those variables. Two models are utilized: discretionary and non-discretionary. A specific transaction cost estimation and optimization is performed that model the transaction costs of a specific trade execution based on the user's trading profile and market variables.

Abstract: A system and method for allowing market participants to evaluate the likelihood of finding hidden volume. The model can predict hidden volume and assess the probability that a market order will be executed within the spread and better than the mid-quote. The cost per immediate execution can be assessed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for using market data and analysis of previous trades to improve return on investment in one or more future trades. Historical trading data relating to a fund is collected and used to identify an alpha profile of the fund. Outcomes of a plurality of strategies for trading a security are simulated based on the identified alpha profile, and an optimized trading strategy is determined based on the results of the simulations.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program product for generating a report or document including a data representation reflecting a distribution of hidden trade order volume across different locations and a relative size, including average hidden order volume, volume executed against hidden orders, as a percentage of total trading volume by exchange, liquidity group and time bins. Order execution data is received for a plurality of executed trades via an electronic quotation feed associated with an electronic trading forum for trading both displayed orders and non-displayed orders. For a plurality of time periods, the location within the best bid, best offer spread, of each executed trade of the plurality of executed trades, is determined by comparing the price of each executed trade for hidden orders to quotes on a limit book for the electronic trading forum at a point in time substantially immediately before the corresponding executed trade.
