Abstract

Systems and methods are provided to control gaming in electronic trading markets. These systems and methods alleviate the problem of a seller or buyer trying to act on a trader's original bid or offer only to trade at an unfavorable level after the trader changes the bid or offer. A pricing method suspends (218) trading for a period of time if a price difference (210) between two bids or offers by the same trader its to great. A timing method prevents a trader from canceling or replacing a bid or offer for a period of time (212). These methods provide a more fair and efficient way of executing electronic trades.
