Abstract

Methods and systems for user definable prioritization of market information are disclosed. An example method to prioritize market information displayed in a window within a trading interface includes updating the market information displayed in the window at a first frequency, wherein the first frequency is to correspond to a first window priority. The example method also includes, based on a trigger activation, assigning a second window priority to the window, wherein the second window priority is to cause the market information displayed in the window to update at a second frequency, the second frequency different from the first frequency.

Claims (23)

1. An electronic trading system including:

a computing device including a processor, wherein the computing device is configured to:

assign a first window priority to a window displayed on a trading interface of a computing device, wherein the first window priority is associated with a first frequency of updating market information displayed in the window, wherein the first frequency is used to set a first time period between providing market updates for display in the window;

set a first timer based on the first time period associated with the first frequency of updating market information displayed in the window;

receive a first market update including market information corresponding to a tradeable object from an electronic exchange for display on the first window;

in response to receiving the market information, determine whether the first timer associated with the window priority has expired;

when the first timer is determined to be expired when the first market update including market information is received, activate an updating module of the computing device to update the window such that the received market information is displayed in the window;

when the first timer is determined not to be expired when the market information is received, deactivate the updating module of the computing device to prevent updating the window until the first timer associated with the first frequency of updating market information displayed in the window expires, wherein when the first timer expires, using a second market update including updated market information received from the electronic exchange for display on the first window; and

based on a trigger activation, assign a second window priority to the window, wherein the second window priority increases the first frequency of updating market information displayed in the window to a second frequency of updating market information displayed in the window, wherein the second frequency is associated with a second time period shorter than the first time period to increase how often market information displayed in the window is updated based on current market updates corresponding to the tradeable object being received from the electronic exchange.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the trigger includes a trader selecting the second window priority of the window via the trading interface.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the trigger includes a timer expiring.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the timer initiates when the second window priority is assigned to the window.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is further configured to:

facilitate the selection of an event that is to correspond to the market information; and

monitor the market information for the event.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein when the event occurs, assigning the second window priority to the window.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the event includes determining a change in a last trade price.

8. The system of claim 5 , wherein the event includes determining a change in an inside market.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the market information displayed in the window is a portion of the market information communicated by an electronic exchange.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the market information communicated by the electronic exchange is filtered by the electronic exchange.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the market information communicated by the electronic exchange is filtered by a gateway in communication with the electronic exchange.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein a user activity within the window initiates the trigger activation.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user activity includes an order placement for the tradeable object.
