generating, via the computer device, a second order message for a second order for the second tradeable with a second price based on the spread price and an inside market for the first tradeable object, where the inside market for the first tradeable object includes a highest bid price for the first tradeable object and a lowest ask price for the first tradeable object;

comparing the first price with a first price range via the computer device, the first price range determined according to a first proximity limit for the first tradeable object and a first reference price for the first tradeable object;

comparing the second price with a second price range via the computer device, the second price range determined according to a second proximity limit for the second tradeable object and a second reference price for the second tradeable object; and
