Abstract
Description
- This invention relates generally to the field of operator interface processing and more specifically to a system and method for providing an operator interface for displaying market data, trader options, and trader input.
- In recent years, electronic trading systems have gained widespread acceptance for trading a wide variety of items, such as goods, services, financial instruments, and commodities. For example, electronic trading systems may be used to trade stocks, fixed income securities, currencies, futures contracts, oil, and gold.
- Electronic trading systems may have a number of client systems connected to a trading platform. A client system may include input devices, such as keyboards or mouse devices, that may be used to communicate with the trading system. In some instances, keyboards may be specifically designed for use with a trading system.
- In accordance with the present invention, disadvantages and problems associated with previous techniques for displaying market data, trader options, and trader input may be reduced or eliminated.
- According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system for displaying market data, trader options, and trader input includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores market data for a trading product, where the market data includes an inside market price for the trading product. The processor initiates display of a market data section of a tile, where the market data section comprises the market data. The processor initiates display of a trader input section of the tile, where the trader input section comprises options. The processor receives a selection of a bid-offer pair for the trading product from the options, and updates the trader input section to indicate the selected bid-offer pair.
- Certain embodiments of the invention may provide one or more technical advantages. A technical advantage of one embodiment may be that a display has tiles that display information about trading products to a trader. A tile displays market data for a particular trading product. The market data may include a bid quantity, an inside market price, and an offer quantity. The tile also displays options from which the trader may select to designate desired conditions for initiating a trade for the trading product. The options may include quantities of and bid-offer pairs for the trading product. The trader may use knobs of a game controller device to make selections. One knob may be used to select a quantity, and another knob may be used to select a bid-offer pair. Thus, the trader may use the tile and the game controller device to easily select a quantity and a bid-offer pair for the trading product.
- Another technical advantage of one embodiment may be that buttons of the game controller device may be used to initiate specific types of trades. One button may be used to initiate a bid and/or buy at the quantity and bid-offer pair selected by the trader. Another button may be used to initiate an offer and/or sell at the quantity and bid-offer pair selected by the trader. Yet another button may be used to initiate a buy at the inside market price. And, yet another button may be used to initiate a sell at the inside market price. Thus, a trader can readily initiate different types of trades using the buttons of the game controller device.
- Certain embodiments of the invention may include none, some, or all of the above technical advantages. One or more other technical advantages may be readily apparent to one skilled in the art from the figures, descriptions, and claims included herein.
- For a more complete understanding of the present invention and its features and advantages, reference is now made to the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

FIG. 1 illustrates one embodiment of an electronic trading system; -
FIG. 2 illustrates an example of a display that includes a tile for use in the system ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 illustrates an example of a game controller device for use in the system ofFIG. 1 ; and -
FIG. 4 illustrates one embodiment of a method for displaying one or more tiles. - Embodiments of the present invention and its advantages are best understood by referring to
FIGS. 1 through 4 of the drawings, like numerals being used for like and corresponding parts of the various drawings. -
FIG. 1 illustrates one embodiment of anelectronic trading system 10 operable to facilitate trading fortraders 24.System 10 includes aclient system 12, atrading platform 14, and anetwork 16, coupled as shown.Client system 12 includes interface devices 28 (such as agame controller device 36 and a display device 32) and aclient platform 34.Client platform 34 includes aprocessor 46 and amemory 48. - In one example,
client system 12 generates adisplay 11 that hastiles 13 that display information describing trading products. Atile 13 displaysmarket data 15 for a trading product.Market data 15 is received in near real-time from a market data center and provides near real-time information fortile 13.Market data 15 may include a bid quantity, an inside market price, and an offer quantity. -
Tile 13 also displaysoptions 19 from whichtrader 24 may select to designate desired conditions for initiating a trade. The options may include quantities and bid-offer pairs for the trading product. Trader 24 uses knobs ofgame controller device 36 to make selections. One knob may be used to select a quantity, and another knob may be used to select a bid-offer pair. - Trader 24 may monitor
market data 15, and may decide to initiate a trade in response tomarket data 15. Trader 24 uses buttons ofgame controller device 36 to initiate specific types of trades. One button may be used to initiate a bid and/or buy at the quantity and bid-offer pair selected bytrader 24. Another button may be used to initiate an offer and/or sell at the quantity and bid-offer pair selected bytrader 24. Yet another button may be used to initiate a buy at the inside market price. And, yet another button may be used to initiate a sell at the inside market price. Although this description is explained with respect to knobs and buttons ofgame controller device 36 to perform particular actions, these actions may be performed using any suitable number and combination of knobs, buttons, or other portions ofdevice 36. - Accordingly,
trader 24 may readily read the bid quantity, the inside market price, and the offer quantity for a trading product fromtile 13. In addition,trader 24 may usetile 13 andgame controller device 36 to easily select a quantity and a bid-offer pair for the trading product. Furthermore,trader 24 may use specific knobs and/or buttons ofgame controller device 36 to initiate specific types of trades. - According to one embodiment,
traders 24 may represent users oftrading system 10 capable of placing and/or responding totrading orders 17. Atrader 24 may represent a principal, an agent acting on behalf of a principal, an individual, a legal entity (such as a corporation), or any machine or mechanism that is capable of placing and/or responding totrading orders 17. - A
trading order 17 may represent an order to buy or sell a particular amount of a particular trading product. A trading product may refer to any suitable product or combination of products that forms the basis of a giventrading order 17. Examples of trading products may include any type of goods, services, financial instruments, commodities, equities, stocks, fixed income securities, interest rate derivatives, currencies, futures contracts, debentures, options, securities, derivative trading instruments, or any other suitable product or combination of products. - A
client system 12 may represent any suitable end-user element that may be used to access one or more elements oftrading system 10, such astrading platform 14. Examples of an end-user element include a computer, a workstation, a telephone, an Internet browser, an electronic notebook, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a pager, or any other suitable device (wireless or otherwise) capable of receiving, processing, storing, and/or communicating information with other components ofsystem 10. -
Client system 12 may includeinterface devices 28 and aclient platform 34. Aninterface device 28 may represent any suitable device operable to communicate signals to and/or fromclient platform 34 via a wired and/or a wireless link.
