Abstract

A system and method are provided for trading a trading strategy defined for at least one tradeable object in an electronic trading environment. More specifically, one example method includes using a first pay-up tick value to determine a first acceptable price level for an order associated with the trading strategy, automatically modifying the first pay-up tick to a second pay-up tick value in response to detecting a predefined condition, and using the second pay-up tick value to determine a second acceptable price level for the order associated with the trading strategy.

Claims (23)

1. A method for submitting orders for a tradeable object, comprising:

dynamically modifying, via a processor, a first pay-up tick value for a price for an offset order for a tradeable object in response to a detected user-defined condition.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising setting the price for the offset order according to the modified first pay-up tick value.

3. The method of claim 2 further comprising initiating submission of the offset order for the tradeable object at the price.

4. The method of claim 1 where the offset order derives from a trading strategy.

5. The method of claim 1 where the detected user-defined condition is determined according to market data.

6. The method of claim 1 where the detected user-defined condition is based on at least one equation including a plurality of user-defined variables.

7. The method of claim 1 where the detected user-defined condition comprises a trader-performance based condition.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising determining a first price range according to the modified first pay-up tick value.

9. The method of claim 8 further comprising dynamically modifying a second pay-up tick value in response to the detected user-defined condition.

10. The method of claim 9 further comprising determining a second price range according to the modified second pay-up tick value.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that when executed by a processor cause the processor to carry out acts comprising:

dynamically modifying a first pay-up tick value for a price for an offset order for a tradeable object in response to a detected user-defined condition.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 where the acts further comprise setting the price for the offset order according to the modified first pay-up tick value.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 where the acts further comprise initiating submission of the offset order for the tradeable object at the price.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 where the acts further comprise determining a first price range according to the modified first pay-up tick value.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 where the acts further comprise dynamically modifying a second pay-up tick value in response to detecting the user-defined condition.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 where the acts further comprise determining a second price range according to the modified second pay-up tick value.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 where the acts further comprise detecting the user-defined condition based on market data.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 where the detected user-defined condition is based on at least one equation including a plurality of user-defined variables.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 where the detected user-defined condition comprises a trader-performance based condition.

20. A trading device, comprising:

an electronic processor configured to dynamically modify a first pay-up tick value for a price for an offset order for a tradeable object in response to a detected user-defined condition.
