Abstract
The described technology displays, at a GUI, a graph of one or more financial curves having one or more actionable indicators indicative of one or more tradable events associated with modeling and/or trading at least one market asset or financial instrument at a financial marketplace. The one or more indicators display a current real-time market value of a tradable event associated with the market asset or financial instrument. Input is received at the GUI from a trader to perform an action associated with the financial curve. In response to receiving the input, the action is initiated and the results are displayed at the GUI.
Claims20
A computer-readable medium, excluding transitory propagating signals, and storing instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
- display at a graphical user interface (GUI) a plot of one or more indicators indicative of one or more tradable events associated with trading multiple financial instruments through an electronic marketplace,
- wherein each of the one or more indicators displays a current real-time indicative value of a respective tradable event associated with the multiple financial instruments, and
- wherein at least one of the one or more indicators is actionable to execute a trade;
- monitor for an input from a trader to perform an action associated with the plot, wherein the input corresponds to a location on the GUI that is proximate to at least one of the one or more indicators, and
- wherein the action includes locking an indicator of the one or more indicators;
- in response to receiving the input, perform the action;
- display the results of the action at a location at the GUI;
- and
- update a location of at least one other indicator of the one or more indicators that has not been locked based on relative changes to the locked indicator.
At least one computer-readable medium, excluding transitory propagating signals, and storing instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
- display at a graphical user interface (GUI) a graph having at least a first financial curve defined by a first instrument with a first set of multiple maturity or delivery dates and a second financial curve defined by a second instrument with a second set of multiple maturity or delivery dates;
- wherein the graph includes multiple displayed event indicators each indicative of tradable events associated with trading the first instrument or the second instrument through a financial marketplace,
- wherein each of the multiple displayed event indicators is positioned on the GUI in accordance with a current real-time indicative value and maturity or delivery date of the respective tradable event to form the first financial curve and the second financial curve;
- and
- receive an input from a trader to perform an action associated with the first financial curve or the second financial curve,
- wherein the input corresponds to a location on the GUI that is proximate to at least one of the multiple displayed event indicators, and
- wherein the action includes locking the current real-time indicative value and maturity or delivery date associated with one of the multiple displayed event indicators on the GUI;
- in response to receiving the input, perform the action;
- display a result of the action at a location at the GUI;
- and
- update a location of at least one other displayed event indicator of the multiple displayed event indicators based on relative changes to the one of the multiple displayed event indicators that has been locked.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
- display at a graphical user interface (GUI) a financial curve,
- wherein the financial curve is a plot of one or more indicators indicative of one or more tradable events associated with trading a financial instrument through an electronic marketplace,
- wherein each of the one or more indicators displays an indicative value of a respective tradable event associated with the financial instrument, and
- wherein each tradable event has an associated visual command indicator, wherein the visual command indicator is selectable by a user;
- in response to a movement of a visual command indicator associated with a tradable event of the one or more tradable events, execute an action associated with the moved visual command indicator,
- wherein the action includes locking an indicator of the one or more indicators on the GUI;
- display the results of the action at a location at the GUI;
- display another financial curve at the GUI, wherein the other financial curve is a plot of one or more other indicators indicative of one or more other tradable events associated with trading another financial instrument through the electronic marketplace;
- in response to receiving a request to lock a financial curve, lock the financial curve;
- and
- update a location of at least one other indicator of the one or more indicators that has not been locked based on relative changes to the indicator of the one or more indicators that has been locked.
