Appl. No.:

09/993991

Inventors:

Brian Moore - Palatine IL, US
Thomas Shirley - Bartlett IL, US
Kevin Kruse - Warrenville IL, US
Thomas Weiss - Chicago IL, US

International Classification:

H04Q007/20

US Classification:

455/423000, 455/419000

Abstract:

A method of ensuring stability of wireless communications that are in danger of suffering a service disconnect due to a processor software upgrade or downgrade. The method includes the use of a control block which contains the version number of the application operating on both the primary and secondary processors. The primary controller writes state data to its control block and a checkpointing service replicates the data to the control block of the updated secondary processor. The control block coordinates appropriate version format conversions and allows the secondary processor to read the saved state data and assume control of the wireless communications with little or no loss of service.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/04

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus to calculate and display transaction adjusted values are disclosed. An example method includes defining an order related to a tradeable object listed on an electronic exchange, wherein the order is associated with a user; determining whether the user qualifies for a pricing incentive that rewards trading activity meeting a threshold; when the user qualifies for the pricing incentive, calculating a transaction adjusted value of the order at respective ones of a plurality of price levels of a trading interface, wherein the pricing incentive is factored into the calculation of the transaction adjusted value for a first one of the price levels, and the pricing incentive is not factored into the calculation of the transaction adjusted value of a second one of the price levels; and displaying ones of the transaction adjusted values in a value axis of the trading interface in connection with respective ones of the plurality of price levels.

Abstract:

Systems and methods to prevent one or more retry orders from exceeding a bandwidth limitation are disclosed. An example method includes receiving a first retry order and a second retry order, selecting one of the first retry order or the second retry order to communicate to an exchange, communicating the selected one of the first retry order or the second retry order to the exchange, receiving an acknowledgment from the exchange in response to the selected one of the first retry order or the second retry order communicated to the exchange and communicating the other of the selected one of the first retry order or the second retry order to the exchange after receiving the acknowledgment.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/04

Abstract:

Certain embodiments provide a method for defining, via a trading interface implemented by a trading device, a trading strategy including a first contract associated with a first tradeable object and a second contract associated with a second tradeable object. The example method also includes receiving, by the trading device, market data provided by the electronic exchange, the market update includes price and quantity information related to the first and second tradeable objects. The example method also includes determining, by the trading device, that at least one of a first price and a first quantity associated with the first contract is implied based on at least one of a second price and a second quantity associated with the second contract. The example method also includes receiving, via the trading interface implemented by the trading device, a selection input corresponding to the trading strategy listed in the trading interface, and displaying, via the trading interface implemented by the trading device, a strategy indicator arranged to identify the trading strategy in the trading interface, wherein the strategy indicator is generated in response to the received selection input; and displaying, via the trading interface implemented by the trading device, an implied indicator arranged to identify the first contract and configured to reflect a link between at least the first contract and the selected trading strategy.
