  • Patent number: 11922500
    Abstract: The example methods and systems described herein provide for configuration of one or more trade order parameters to associate with one or more trade orders, where the trade orders may be submitted to one or more electronic exchanges. According to an example embodiment, rather than having the trader manually configure each individual parameter associated with each trade order, a trader can pre-configure customer and order parameters. A user, for example a trader, broker, or market maker, can configure trade order parameters to associate with one or more customers, one or more order types, and/or internal messages to associate with any of the configured customers or orders. Based on the selected customer and tradeable object, the trading system evaluates the pre-configured customer and associated order parameters and determines which trade order parameters best match. The trading system then dynamically populates the order entry window with the specific trade order parameters associated with the best match.

  • Publication number: 20170116670
    Abstract: Users of trading devices may use trading applications to buy and sell tradeable objects at electronic exchanges. The trading devices may receive price information for the tradeable objects from the electronic exchange. Price information for multiple tradeable objects may be received at the trading device and displayed in a value axis in a user interface. The value axis may be non-linear, as the value axis may include different ranges of prices related to the tradeable objects. The user interface may provide indicia of price information related to an identified tradeable object, such as options having the same expiry for example, such that the user may identify the relevant price information for the tradeable object. The indicia may indicate a highest available price and/or a lowest relative price for the tradeable object relative to the prices in the value axis.

  • Publication number: 20170109821
    Abstract: Users of trading devices may use trading applications to buy and sell options for underlying tradeable objects. Options may be identified in market data that are related to underlying tradeable objects and may be grouped for providing relevant option information for each group of options to a user. The option information may include strike prices for a subset of the options for the underlying tradeable object, which may be displayed in a predefined range of strike prices. The predefined range of strike prices may be configurable to allow for a different predefined range of strike prices to be displayed in the user interface. The strike prices included in the predefined range of strike prices relatively closer to a target strike price for a given market than the other strike prices of the options within a group. Other option information may be displayed with the strike prices for each option.

  • Publication number: 20130346276
    Abstract: A system and method are provided to intelligently limit the frequency at which automated or semi-automated trading tools move or re-price orders in an exchange order book. A tolerance may be input that limits when one or more orders in the exchange order book are moved from one price to another. The system and method assist in reducing the number of orders that are entered into the system which can lead to reduced exchange transaction fees, lost queue position, and reduce network bandwidth consumption.

  • Patent number: 8580178
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a transversely curved or formed strip of material which can be cut to length for use in a fabric for coverings for architectural opening includes a supply role of a flexible fabric strip material that is sequentially passed through a heating chamber with an elongated upwardly convex extrusion across which the strip material is drawn and a cooling station before being wrapped on a take-up drum. The apparatus includes driven rollers about which the strip material passes and the strip material is exposed to tension detectors and controlled temperatures such that the strip material formed in the apparatus is uniform along its length.

  • Patent number: 7695802
    Abstract: A slat for use in a covering for an architectural opening is made from a base material of binder and matrix fibers which are formed into a nonwoven material by melting at least a portion of the binder fibers to thermally bond the binder and matrix fibers. A coating of resin is then applied to the thermally bonded base before the composite material is passed through a forming apparatus where the material is heated over a convex support having the desired curvature for the slat and subsequently cooled.
