A computerized system () and method for integrating trade executions among multiple market participant types is disclosed. The system () includes a client system () that provides a user interface () for inputting an order for the execution of a trade and a server system () in communication with the client system (). The server system () accepts the order for the execution of the trade from the client system (). The server systems () then routes the order to a trade execution location () of one market participant type selected from among multiple market participant types such as the market participant types of ECNs, market makers and exchanges. The server system () has direct and indirect access to the ECNs and the market makers and has indirect access to the exchanges, thereby integrating trade executions among multiple market participant types.

A system for graphically differentiating user preferred securities from one another is disclosed. The system comprises a server system () and a client system (). The server system () is in communication with a security data source () that provides security data on a plurality of securities. The client system () is in communication with the server system () and provides M user specific criteria to the server system (). The server system () then analyzes the security data based upon the M user specific criteria and identifies user preferred securities from the plurality of securities. The server system () provides the client system () with data relating to the user preferred securities. The client system () uses N user specific parameters received from an input device () to generate an N dimensional graph that is populated with icons representing the user preferred securities, thereby graphically differentiating the user preferred securities from one another on a display device ().

A computerized system () and method for obtaining the best fill for an order using automated suborders is disclosed. The system () includes a client system () that proves a user interface () for inputting an order and a single click operation for initiating the order. The system () also includes a server system () that is in communication with the client system () and a plurality of trade execution locations (). When the server system () receives the order from the client system (), the server system () parses the order into a plurality of suborders. The server system () then sends each of the suborders to one of the market participants which are selected and sorted based upon having the best available price for a particular suborder. As such, if all of the suborders are filled, the best price is obtained for the order.

A computerized system () and method for displaying a security trading environment () is disclose. The system () includes a client system () that is in communication with a server system () and a display system (). The server system () provides information relating to securities to the client system () and routes trade executions. The display system () displays security information and accepting input from a user to initiate trade executions in a trading window (), displays security information in a chart format in a chart window (), displays security information relating to a group of securities in a watchlist window (), displays security information relating to securities in which the user has positions in an account detail window (), displays news relating to securities in a news window () and displays information relating to trade executions in a messages window ().

Disclosed are methods and systems of executing securities trades. An exemplary system comprises a server system that is in communication with a client system, a security data source, and a trade execution location. The security data source provides security data relating to a plurality of securities to the server system. The client system provides user specific criteria to the server system. The server system then analyzes the security data based upon the criteria, identifies user preferred securities from the plurality of securities, and provides the client system with data relating to the user preferred securities. The client system uses N user specific parameters to generate and display an N dimensional graph that is populated with icons representing the user preferred securities. After a user preferred securities is selected from the graph and an order is requested, the client system sends the order to the server system.

A system for executing trades in a user preferred security comprising a server system () in communication with a client system (), a security data source () and a trade execution location (). The security data source () provides security data relating to a plurality of securities to the server system (). The server system () analyzes the security data based upon M user specific criteria, and identifies user preferred securities from the plurality of securities and provides the client system () with data relating to the user preferred securities. The client system () uses N user specific parameters to generate and display an N dimensional graph that is populated with icons representing the user preferred securities. After a user preferred security is selected, the server system () routes the order to a trade execution location ().
