| 20100039432 | Graphical Display with Integrated Recent Period Zoom and Historical Period Context Data - A system and method are provided for displaying a data series. In one embodiment, a graphical interface is provided including at least one axis that is divided into a plurality of axis regions. Preferably, each axis region uses a different linear scale, and the plurality of axis regions forms a continuous non-linear scale. The graphical interface also displays the data series in relation to the plurality of axis regions, and the data series is plotted in relation to each axis region based on a scale resolution corresponding to each respective axis region. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100268703 | METHOD OF SEARCH STRATEGY VISUALIZATION AND INTERACTION - A method for visually representing a search query that includes obtaining a desired search query, preparing a collection of search strategies for a query service, submitting the collection of search strategies to a query service, processing the search results, and displaying a visualization map of the search results that graphically represents the plurality of search strategies. The collection of search strategies is composed of a plurality of core search strategies for the desired search query and at least one combination of at least two core search strategies. The visualization map includes a plurality of graphical objects, and a graphical object represents a search strategy of the collection of query strategies. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100268723 | METHOD OF PARTITIONING A SEARCH QUERY TO GATHER RESULTS BEYOND A SEARCH LIMIT - In one embodiment the invention includes a method to gather search results beyond a search result limit. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of receiving a desired search term, creating a partitioning set that includes at least one partitioning term, forming a plurality of partitioned queries that include the desired search term and the partitioning set, submitting the plurality of partitioned queries to a query service, and collecting results from the submitted plurality of partitioned queries. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20110047065 | System and Method for Modifying Trading Strategies Based on Message Usage - A system and method are provided for implementing an electronic exchange-based transaction message policy. One example method includes defining a message usage threshold to be used in relation to a client entity that utilizes one or more trading strategies and sends transaction messages to an electronic exchange. The method further includes dynamically monitoring the message usage at the client entity and comparing it to the defined message usage threshold. If the message usage exceeds the threshold limit, the method includes adjusting one or more trading strategies at the client entity in attempt to not violating the exchange-based transaction message policy. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110210974 | Graphical Display with Integrated Recent Period Zoom and Historical Period Context Data - A system and method are provided for displaying a data series. In one embodiment, a graphical interface is provided including at least one axis that is divided into a plurality of axis regions. Preferably, each axis region uses a different linear scale, and the plurality of axis regions forms a continuous non-linear scale. The graphical interface also displays the data series in relation to the plurality of axis regions, and the data series is plotted in relation to each axis region based on a scale resolution corresponding to each respective axis region. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20110213695 | System and Method for Computing and Displaying Effective Bid and Ask Information - A data feed from an electronic exchange carries certain pieces of market information. Software at the trading station receives the data feed and computes an effective bid price and/or an effective ask price based on a particular quantity to trade. Then, the effective bid price and/or effective ask price are indicated to the user. An effective bid price is an average price at which a certain quantity could be sold based on current market conditions. An effective ask price is an average price at which a certain quantity could be bought based on current market conditions. Depending on the available quantities in the market, the effective prices may represent spreads different from the actual spread of the inside market. This information may be used to, among other things, make more accurate trades at prices. Additionally, a derivative of price, such as yield, may be used to compute other types of effective bid and/or ask information. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20110320337 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING A CONSTANT TIME SELECTION CONTEXT MENU INTERFACE - A system and method are provided for a context menu pop-up interface. In one embodiment, the context menu interface may be activated in relation to a second interface, and may include a plurality of selection areas organized around a central selection area. In a preferred embodiment, the sizes of each of the plurality of selection areas increase as a distance to each selection area increases from the central selection area, and the sizes are selected such that the plurality of selection areas can be selected in approximately the same time. | 12-29-2011 |
| 20120005058 | Method and Apparatus for Motion Based Target Prediction and Interaction - Embodiments for motion based target prediction and interaction are described herein. One example embodiment includes predicting a target element based on a user moving a cursor in relation to a trading interface. When a target element is identified, one or more actions may be pre-configured based on the target element. For example, when a target element is associated with a buy action and a price, an order message to buy a tradeable object at the price may be generated based on the predicted target element. Then, a user action may be received to select the target element and to execute the action. The user action selecting the target element may be received prior to the cursor reaching the desired target. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120005059 | Order Entry Actions - Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to order entry. In the electronic trading process, order entry involves setting one or more order entry parameters, sending one or more order entry parameters, or both setting and sending one or more order entry parameters. As will be described in more detail below, various order entry actions, such as moving a cursor across an order entry line, moving a cursor into an order entry region, pressing an order entry button, or performing a gesture, may be used to trigger the setting, sending, or both setting and sending of one or more order entry parameters. At least some embodiments relate to enabling an order entry action before the order entry action is able to set, send, or both set and send one or more order entry parameters. | 01-05-2012 |
