Methods, systems and computer-readable storage media disclosed herein provide visual depictions of warnings and errors. An example method includes detecting, using a computing device, a change in a design of a trading algorithm. The trading algorithm is defined by a user-specified arrangement of blocks representing trading functionality. The example method includes determining, using the computing device, whether the trading algorithm complies with a trading algorithm rule. The example method includes facilitating, using the computing device, at least one of warning handling or error handling when the trading algorithm does not comply with the trading algorithm rule. Facilitating warning handling or error handling includes displaying a warning or an error to the user in connection with the trading algorithm before the trading algorithm is available for execution.

Visual depiction of warnings and errors

Certain embodiments provide a block placing tool for building a user-defined algorithm for electronic trading. Certain embodiments provide for receiving by a block placing tool a selection of one or more blocks. Certain embodiments provide for receiving by a block placing tool a mapping definition including a mapping between block types and/or attributes. Certain embodiments provide for placing blocks based on a selection of blocks and a mapping definition.

Block placing tool for building a user-defined algorithm for electronic trading

Certain embodiments reduce the risks of traditionally programmed algorithms such as syntax errors, unclear logic, and the need for a non-trader programmer to develop the algorithm as specified by a trader by reducing or eliminating the writing of programming code by a user. Certain embodiments provide a design canvas area and blocks for designing an algorithm. Certain embodiments provide for grouping blocks placed in the design canvas area. Certain embodiments provide for virtualized group blocks enabling dynamic instantiation of portions of an algorithm to handle particular discrete events. Certain embodiments provide for operation of some or all portions of an algorithm when a connection between a client device and an algorithm server is broken.

Virtualizing for user-defined algorithm electronic trading

Contextual searches may be performed to identify subsets of search results from an organized dataset. Contextual searching may return search results based on a relevance of the results to a query or search terms. Characters may be input by users at a search field that may be used to define context filters for limiting the search results of the organized dataset. Triggering events may be received that may trigger the definition of context filters that may be used to obtain the subsets of search results from the organized dataset. The triggering event may be a delimiter in the character string, for example. The subset of search results may include a subset of tradeable objects that may be traded at an electronic exchange. The subset of search results may continue to be limited based on additional context filters defined from the search input at the search field.

Contextual searching

Certain embodiments reduce the risks of traditionally programmed algorithms such as syntax errors, unclear logic, and the need for a non-trader programmer to develop the algorithm as specified by a trader by reducing or eliminating the writing of programming code by a user. Certain embodiments provide building block buttons and an algorithm area to define an algorithm. Certain embodiments provide live evaluation of an expression as the algorithm is being defined. Certain embodiments provide a design canvas area and blocks for designing an algorithm. Certain embodiments provide live feedback for blocks as the algorithm is being designed. Certain embodiments provide for initiating placement of an order to be managed by a selected user-defined trading algorithm from a value axis and for displaying working orders being managed by different user-defined trading algorithms on the value axis. Certain embodiments provide a ranking tool.

User-defined algorithm electronic trading

An application is disclosed that receives from a host exchange a plurality of trade notifications, each trade notification corresponding to an executed trade, and for each executed trade of interest, may determine whether the executed trade belongs in an aggregated set with one or more other executed trades. The application provides an indicator for indicating whether the corresponding executed trade or aggregated trade traded on the bid side or on the offer side of the market, and which indicates whether additional volume is available at the associated trade price.

System and method for displaying trade information for electronic trading exchange

The disclosed embodiments provide trading circles. An example method includes defining a group having a plurality of members, wherein one or more of the plurality of members interacts with an exchange that facilitates market transactions; detecting a first interaction of a first group member with the exchange; and communicating, in response to detecting the first interaction, data related to the first interaction to a second group member before the first group member receives confirmation of the first interaction from the exchange.

Trading circles

Trading tools may be manipulated by allowing assembly, disassembly, and configuration of different trading tools. The assembly of different trading tools may generate combined trading tools. The combined trading tools may enable interoperability between the trading tools therein. Customization of the combined trading tools may be enabled by enabling a user to rearrange predefined areas displayed within the trading tools within the combined trading tools. The customization of the combined trading tools may enable customization of different functionality within the combined trading tools. The trading tools within a combined trading tool may include a tab tool for enabling multiple instances of another trading tool to which the tab tool is attached. Each instance of a trading tool may be associated with a respective tab for enabling a user to toggle between the multiple instances of the trading tool.
