  • Publication number: 20110218904
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for modifying how market updates are provided in an electronic trading environment upon detecting one or more triggering events. One example method includes defining an event to be used to trigger modification of how market updates are provided to a client entity, receiving a market update from an electronic exchange, and, when the event is detected, modifying how the market update is provided to the client entity. As an example, the modification of how the market update is provided to the client entity may include providing less data in relation to market updates, and sending the market updates less frequently.

  • Publication number: 20110145131
    Abstract: A system and method for displaying quantity related information determined for a plurality of time periods are described. According to one method, a trader may define one or more time periods for which a trading application may determine traded quantities, traded buys, traded sells, or other quantity related information at a plurality of price levels during the defined time periods. The trading application may then graphically display the quantities for each time period in relation to the static axis of prices. The method further includes periodically updating the displayed traded quantity to reflect the quantity during the defined time period, where the quantity is updated based on subsequent market updates that are received from the exchange for the tradable object.

  • Publication number: 20060231752
    Abstract: A system (70) for crystallography including a sample holder (74), an electron source (76) for generating an electron beam, and a scanning actuator (80) for controlling the relative movement between the electron beam and the crystalline sample, the scanning actuator being controllable for directing the electron beam at a series of spaced apart points within the sample area. The system also includes an image processor (84) for generating crystallographic data based upon electron diffraction from the crystalline sample and for determining whether sufficient data have been acquired to characterize the sample area The system further includes a controller (86) for controlling the scanning actuator to space the points apart such that acquired data is representative of a different grains within the crystalline sample. IN other embodiments, the invention includes one or more ion beams (178, 188) for crystallography and a combination ion beam/electron beam (218, 228).
