Abstract

Trading tools may be manipulated by allowing assembly, disassembly, and configuration of different trading tools. The assembly of different trading tools may generate combined trading tools. The combined trading tools may enable interoperability between the trading tools therein. Customization of the combined trading tools may be enabled by enabling a user to rearrange predefined areas displayed within the trading tools within the combined trading tools. The customization of the combined trading tools may enable customization of different functionality within the combined trading tools. The trading tools within a combined trading tool may include a tab tool for enabling multiple instances of another trading tool to which the tab tool is attached. Each instance of a trading tool may be associated with a respective tab for enabling a user to toggle between the multiple instances of the trading tool.

Claims8

Dependent claims

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:

receiving by a graphical user interface a first command;
displaying a first trading tool in a workspace of the graphical user interface, wherein the first trading tool is generated in response to the first command;
receiving by the graphical user interface a second command;
displaying a second trading tool in the workspace of the graphical user interface, wherein the second trading tool is generated in response to the second command;
receiving by the graphical user interface a selection command;
entering by the graphical user interface a tool manipulation mode;
displaying by the graphical user interface a first attachment indicator on the first trading tool and a second attachment indicator on the second trading tool, in response to entering the tool manipulation mode, wherein the first attachment indicator represents a side of the first trading tool that may be attached to the second trading tool and wherein the second attachment indicator represents a side of the second trading tool that may be attached to the first trading tool;
generating by the graphical user interface a first instance of a combined trading tool, wherein the combined trading tool includes the first trading tool and the second trading tool, and wherein generating the first instance of the combined trading tool includes:
attaching by the graphical user interface the first trading tool to the second trading tool utilizing the first attachment indicator and the second attachment indicator;
and
establishing by the graphical user interface a first communication priority between the first trading tool and the second trading tool, wherein the communication priority specifies in what order a market update received at the processor is distributed between the first trading tool and the second trading tool;
generating by the graphical user interface, in response to a user selection, a tab tool including a first tab and a tab generator, wherein the first tab includes the first instance of the combined trading tool;
receiving by the graphical user interface a selection of the tab generator;
and
generating by the graphical user interface, in response to receiving the selection of the tab generator, a second tab including a second instance of the combined trading tool, wherein the second instance of the combined trading tool includes a second instance of the first trading tool, a second instance of the second trading tool, and a second communication priority.

12 more elements

A system including:

a processor;
and
a memory in communication with the processor, wherein the memory stores a trading application, and wherein the processor executes the trading application to:
receive by a graphical user interface a first command;
display a first trading tool in a workspace of the graphical user interface, wherein the first trading tool is generated in response to the first command;
receive by the graphical user interface a second command;
display a second trading tool in the workspace of the graphical user interface, wherein the second trading tool is generated in response to the second command;
receive by the graphical user interface a selection command;
enter by the graphical user interface a tool manipulation mode;
display by the graphical user interface a first attachment indicator on the first trading tool and a second attachment indicator on the second trading tool, in response to entering the tool manipulation mode, wherein the first attachment indicator represents a side of the first trading tool that may be attached to the second trading tool, and wherein the second attachment indicator represents a side of the second trading tool that may be attached to the first trading tool;
generate by the graphical user interface a first instance of a combined trading tool, wherein the combined trading tool includes the first trading tool and the second trading tool, and wherein generating the first instance of the combined trading tool includes:
attaching by the graphical user interface the first trading tool to the second trading tool utilizing the first attachment indicator and the second attachment indicator;
and
establishing by the graphical user interface a first communication priority between the first trading tool and the second trading tool, wherein the communication priority specifies in what order a market update received at the processor is distributed between the first trading tool and the second trading tool;
generate by the graphical user interface, in response to a user selection, a tab tool including a first tab and a tab generator, wherein the first tab includes the first instance of the combined trading tool;
receive by the graphical user interface a selection of the tab generator;
and
generate by the graphical user interface, in response to receiving the selection of the tab generator, a second tab including a second instance of the combined trading tool, wherein the second instance of the combined trading tool includes a second instance of the first trading tool, a second instance of the second trading tool, and a second communication priority.
