Abstract:

A method for analyzing financial data related to a financial instrument traded on an electronic exchange includes serially receiving sets of price and volume data including a price corresponding to a best bid, a best ask, or a trade, and a volume representing the volume of units of the financial instrument available at the best bid price or best ask price or executed at the trade price, and generating a data point including a best bid price, a best ask price, a high price, a low price, a bid trade volume, a bid large trade volume, an ask trade volume, and an ask large trade volume of the financial instrument in the discrete time period, and determining whether the inside market has moved based at least in part on a relationship between the most recently received price and one or more of the current best bid price, the current best ask price, the current high price, and the current low price.
