A quantity modifier and a price modifier are provided for a spread trading strategy having a desired spread price and a desired spread quantity. According to an example embodiment, a quantity modifier divides the desired spread quantity into a plurality of disclosed spread quantities. Once the disclosed quantities are determined, a plurality of disclosed spread orders having the disclosed spread quantities are sequentially submitted to the market until the full desired spread order quantity is executed or until a predefined condition is detected. A price modifier determines a price level for each disclosed spread quantity, such that each disclosed spread order may be submitted at a different price level.

Systems and methods for using order modifiers in relation to trading strategies

Various systems and methods for presenting and interacting with electronic trading related information on a display screen of a computer system are provided. According to one or more embodiments, buttons are positioned and compressed along an axis, where each button corresponds to a function. A button can be selected through an action of a user input device. A button is removed from the region when a function corresponding to the button is no longer current and when the cursor is not positioned within the region. The remaining buttons, if any, in the region are compressed subsequent to removing the button from the region. A button is not removed from the region when the cursor is positioned within the region.

Systems and methods of an interface for use in electronic trading

Certain embodiments provide systems, methods, and apparatus for trading in a distributed server architecture. An example method includes receiving, by a computing device, a definition for a trading strategy, wherein the trading strategy includes a first tradeable object and a second tradeable object. The example method includes selecting, by the computing device, a first server to process one or more trade orders for the first tradeable object and a second server to process one or more trade orders for the second tradeable object. The example method includes sending, by the computing device, the definition for the trading strategy to the first server and the second server.

Distributed spreading tools and methods

Systems and methods for implementing a confirmation period are disclosed. An example method includes identifying a market condition associated with a quantity of a tradeable object of a trading strategy, wherein the market condition triggers an adjustment to the trading strategy; initiating a confirmation period in response to the market condition; when a reevaluation of the market condition during the confirmation period indicates that the market condition has ceased, preventing the adjustment to the trading strategy; and when the market condition persists throughout the confirmation period, proceeding with the adjustment to the trading strategy.

Systems and methods for implementing a confirmation period

The disclosed embodiments provide pre-hedge rules and tools for creating pre-hedge rules. An example method includes receiving an indication that a first leg of a spread trade is at least partially filled; and in response to the indication and before an order associated with a second leg of the spread trade is placed, determining whether a condition defined in a rule is satisfied and, when the condition is satisfied, performing an action defined in the rule.
