Abstract
A system and method are provided for trading a tradable object. One example apparatus includes a microprocessor, a graphical user comprising a first screen region having a plurality of locations in the first screen region, each location corresponding to a price level along a first axis and a time along a second axis. The apparatus also comprises a user input device for sending a command to initiate placement of a timed trade order, and an indicator being dynamically displayed in one of the plurality locations of the first screen region and corresponding to the timed order. In one example embodiment, the indicator dynamically moves over time relative to the second axis indicating a time until the order will be automatically sent to a computerized matching process.
Claims14
A method including:
- receiving by a computing device a command to initiate placement of a timed trade order for a tradable object, wherein the timed trade order is associated with an order time and an order price, wherein the order time is a future time with respect to the time when the command to initiate placement of the timed trade order was generated, wherein the command is received from a client terminal device, wherein the command is generated in response to selection of a location in an order entry interface displayed by the client terminal device, wherein the location in the order entry interface corresponds to the order price and the order time;
- and
- placing by the computing device at the order time an order for the tradable object at the order price.
A computer readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by a processor, wherein the instructions are executable to:
- receive a command to initiate placement of a timed trade order for a tradable object, wherein the timed trade order is associated with an order time and an order price, wherein the order time is a future time with respect to the time when the command to initiate placement of the timed trade order was generated, wherein the command is received from a client terminal device, wherein the command is generated in response to selection of a location in an order entry interface displayed by the client terminal device, wherein the location in the order entry interface corresponds to the order price and the order time;
- and
- place at the order time an order for the tradable object at the order price.
