Single action replication of complex financial instrument using options strip and user interface therefore

A system comprising:

• a processor and a memory coupled therewith;
• first logic stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor to cause the processor to cause, via network, presentation of a user interface on a display of a client device coupled with the network, the user interface configured to receive inputs from a user of the client device and transmit those received inputs to the processor via the network, and further configured to receive data from the processor and present the received data on the display;
• second logic stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor to cause the processor to receive, via the user interface, a request to generate a strategy order, the request including a selection of a product and expiration;
• third logic stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor to cause the processor to obtain, based on the selected product and expiration, from an electronic exchange computing system coupled therewith, a set of available financial instruments for the selected product having the selected expiration, each of the available financial instruments of the set being characterized by a different value;
• fourth logic stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor to cause the processor to receive, via a temporary menu overlay in the user interface, a selection of a strategy type from among a plurality of strategy types, at least one unselected option from the plurality of available strategy types not displayed via the user interface when the temporary menu overlay is not displayed;
• fifth logic stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor to cause the processor to select, based on the request and the selected strategy type, a subset of the set of available financial instruments and computing a minimum quantity of each financial instrument of the subset, the strategy order comprising the selected subset of available financial instruments at the computed minimum quantities;
• sixth logic stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor to cause the processor to present, via the user interface, the selected subset of available financial instruments at the computed minimum quantities;
• seventh logic stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor to cause the processor to receive, via the user interface, acceptance of the selected subset of available financial instruments at the computed minimum quantities and, based thereon, communicate the selected subset of available financial instruments at the computed minimum quantities to the electronic exchange computer system;
• eighth logic stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor to cause the processor to receive, via the user interface, a specification of a quantity of the strategy order, and communicating the specified quantity to the electronic exchange computing system;
• and
• ninth logic stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor to cause the processor to introduce the specified quantity of the strategy order into an electronic financial instrument exchange market via an electronic exchange computer system coupled with the processor where upon electronic orders to trade each of the subset of available financial instruments at the computed quantities multiplied by the specified quantity are automatically substantially simultaneously submitted for trading.
