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)

implementing a timing module including a first timer associated with the first frequency at which market information displayed in the window is updated;

in response to receiving a market information update, determining at the timing module whether the first timer corresponds to the first expiration;

when the first timer corresponds to the first expiration, activating an updating module to update the window such that the received market information is displayed in the window;

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the market information communicated by the electronic exchange is filtered by the electronic exchange.

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