Definitions
- This invention relates generally to financial market information systems and, more particularly, to a system and method for providing, manipulating, viewing and acting upon financial market information.
- electronic trading systems have gained a widespread acceptance.
- electronic trading systems have been created which facilitate the trading of financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, currency, futures, or other suitable financial instruments.
- Many of these electronic trading systems use a bid/offer process in which bids and offers are submitted to the systems by a passive side. These bids and offers are hit and lifted (or taken) by an aggressive side.
- a passive trader may submit a "bid” to buy a particular number of thirty-year U.S. Treasury Bonds at a given price.
- an aggressive trader may submit a "hit" in order to indicate a willingness to sell bonds to the first trader at the given price.
- a passive side trader may submit an "offer” to sell a particular number of the bonds at the given price, and then the aggressive side trader may submit a "lift” (or "take") in response to the offer to indicate a willingness to buy bonds from the passive side trader at the given price.
- the bid, the offer, the hit, and the lift (or take) may be collectively known as "orders.”
- orders may be collectively known as "orders."
- orders the trader submits a bit, the trader is said to be submitting an order.
- financial market information systems typically display various pieces of information related to a particular financial market. The pieces of information are usually displayed in separate windows or screens on a monitor. Comparative information, to the extent it is provided, is offered in one or two dimensions.
- This invention relates generally to financial market information systems and, more particularly, to a system and method for providing, manipulating, viewing and acting upon financial market information.
- Some embodiments relate to systems, software, and/or graphical user interfaces for the display of market information and options that allow a user to make transactions based on that market information.
- a system for displaying financial market information.
- the system includes a computer having a memory to receive and store financial market information.
- the computer also has a display and a processor operable to process the financial market information and to execute software to generate a graphical depiction of the financial market information on the display.
- the graphical depiction has a multidimensional representation, in at least three dimensions, of market information for at least two financial instruments.
- the graphical depiction resides in a single window on the display, and at least a portion of the displayed financial market information is dynamically updated in real-time.
- software is provided, which is executable by a processor and operable to generate a graphical depiction of financial market information on a display.
- the graphical depiction includes a multidimensional representation, in at least three dimensions, of market information for at least two financial instruments.
- the graphical depiction resides in a single window on the display, and at least a portion of the displayed financial market information is dynamically updated in real-time.
- software is provided, which is executable by a processor and operable to generate a graphical depiction of financial market information on a display.
- the graphical depiction includes a three-dimensional representation of market information for at least two financial instruments.
- the graphical depiction includes a first component of dynamic, real-time market information in one dimension, and a second component of market information in a second dimension. Representations of the at least two financial instruments are arranged along a third dimension.
- certain embodiments of the invention provide real-time information for financial instruments (e.g., fixed income securities) in a manner and presentation such that the viewer of the display receives an integrated and easily- understood view of currently updated prices, yields, transactions types and sizes, bid and offer prices, market direction, prevalence of buying and selling interest, price trends and key security relationships and interrelationships.
- financial instruments e.g., fixed income securities
- the viewer is provided with the ability to focus on an aggregate measure and retrieve its specific underlying numeric components. This is accomplished in a single display or window in such a way that the single display may give access to a broad array of information that might otherwise require numerous contiguous display windows.
- Additional information not previously available is provided in a comprehensive graphical format. This simultaneously facilitates the capability to submit a bid to purchase, offer to sell, or to execute a transaction in, each of the securities.
- the invention also supports display of raw market information with simultaneous mathematical calculations, sophisticated quantitative analytical studies, and 24-hour worldwide transaction capability.
- the invention facilitates the presentation of financial market information to a user and enables the user to improve the level and speed of understanding that information as compared with known systems.
- the invention also increases the efficiency of managing the financial market information, as well as the speed and efficiency of transactional activity relating to the financial instruments associated with the information.
- Viewing the real-time characteristics of a group of financial instruments in a comprehensive and interactive visual display permits market participants to understand numerous variable and quantitative market dynamics instantly and with precision, including relationships both within the market for a single one of the financial instruments, relationships between the markets for any two or several of the instruments, and comprehensively for the entire group of instruments.
- the system enables market participants to more effectively execute transactions in any of the instruments through interaction with the same display that is depicting the market information.
- the display format and other tools summarize and characterize key market dynamics, providing a simplified framework for a substantially enhanced comprehension of real- time market characteristics and complexities simultaneously with the ability to execute transactions electronically in the respective instruments.
- Certain embodiments provide a user interface that is easier and more efficient to use. Certain embodiments facilitate the rapid selection and retrieval of information by presenting a graphical multidimensional representation of market information for financial instruments in a single window. Certain embodiments provide a graphical user interface that enables users to execute information associated with financial instruments represented by the multidimensional representation. Such embodiments are providing a new input tool. Certain embodiments of the invention relate to the manufacture and/or production of a display or a report, such a display or report having a graphical multidimensional representation of market information for two or more financial instruments. The report is a product that may be a printed document or an electronic document.
- a graphical depiction that includes a first portion representing completed trading activity and a second portion representing current market conditions, such as potential market activity.
- the invention provides for the display of a multidimensional representation of market information for at least two financial instruments.
- the current invention provides for a technically more reliable system compared to the prior art. This is because the number of queries that are necessary by a user and the number subsequent replies supplied by the system will be reduced. Since data is provided as a multidimensional representation there is more data available to the user in a single display and there will be less of a need for the user and system to perform further operations to obtain required data or to complete an order. Fewer required operations results in a smaller the risk of a failure or delay in an operation. Such failures or delays may be caused by peaks in data traffic over a network.
- An embodiment of the invention provides a default base combination of displays designed to answer all the immediate questions of a user such as current prices, volumes etc.
- the provision of such a default that predicts a user's questions has a number of technical advantages.
- the default makes efficient use of the display space available on a GUI (so called display "real-estate"). Since the answers to the most likely questions are made readily available, then there is a reduction in the use of the available telecommunications bandwidth because the user is required to interrogate the system less frequently to obtain the answers he needs.

It should be noted that the representation of graph 214, or any other two-dimensional graphic, may be made three-dimensional (or with a greater number of dimensions) in order to display even more information (such as size or volume in the case of graph 214).
- Each vertical section 213 also represents completed trading information as well.
- each vertical section 213 includes a tick strip 216, which is an indication of price direction for a predetermined number of trades, the price direction for each of the respective trades being represented by an indicator 217. The tick strips shown display price direction for ten trades, but any suitable number of trades may be used.
- the number of trades represented by a tick strip is in the range of from five to fifteen. This provides a market participant with a manageable and useful number of previous price directions from which to draw conclusions about how recent price directions affect the decision to purchase or sell a particular security associated with the tick strip being viewed. More preferably, the number of indicators, or ticks, is in the range of from eight to twelve.
- the price direction is indicated by the use of different colors for each indicator 217. Although not expressly shown in FIG. 2, the colors may include yellow for "no change,” green for an "upward” price direction, and red for a "downward" price direction. However, any graphical representation may be used. For example, price direction might shown by upward and downward arrows and flat bars for "no change.” As another example, price direction may be indicated by gray-scale as oppose to colors. Alternatively, the price direction information may be represented by textual or numeric information.
- a graph 214 represents completed trading information over a first period of time and a tick strip 216 represents completed trading information over a second period of time.
- the second period of time is shorter than the first period of time and is a subset of the first period of time.
- the graph 214 represents price-amount information and the tick strip 216 represents price-direction information.
- the graph and tick strips represent different information over different time periods.
- Second portion 220 includes a plurality of multidimensional objects representing the entire current market for the five benchmark treasuries.
- Second portion 220 comprises a plurality of instrument slabs 221.
- Each slab 221 represents a financial instrument. As shown in FIG. 2, there are five slabs 221 representing the five benchmark treasuries.
- each slab 221 corresponds with a step 211. That is, a step 211 and a corresponding slab 221 both represent the same financial instrument.
- Each slab 221 has disposed thereon a series of 3D vertical bars 222. Each of the vertical bars is known as a stack. The stack represents a volume of security orders (either for sale or for purchase) at a given price. A series of stack along a given slab is known as a limit order book for the particular security.
- Each slab has a center point 223. The stack immediately to one side of center point (e.g., stack 224) represents the best-bid price, or the best price for which users are willing to pay for the security.
- the stack immediately to other side of center point 223 represents the best ask price, or the best price for which users are willing to sell the security.
- the center point may be known, therefore, as the best bid/ask, or BBA point.
- the pair of stacks straddling the BBA point may be known as the BBA stacks.
- the BBA stacks illustrate additional information in the form of layers. The layers indicate different order volumes in a queue at the best bid/ask prices, respectively. However, any vertical bar 222 may be configured in this manner.
- second portion 220 includes a plurality of slabs 221, each of which comprises a plurality of vertical bars or stacks 222 arranged along a given dimension.
- the stacks 222 for a given slab 221 are arranged along the x dimension.
- the various different financial instruments are represented by a progression of slabs 221 in the z direction..
- the different financial instruments are arranged along the z dimension.
- price information is provided in the x direction and volume information is provided in the y direction.
- the price information for each stack 222 is provided numerically superimposed on the respective slabs 221, below the respective stacks 222.
- Market presentation 201 may also include certain collateral information. As shown in FIG. 2, presentation 201 includes yield curve indicator 202, trade status indicators 203, and quote board 204.
- Yield curve indicator 202 shows yield curve information for the plurality of financial instruments. As shown in FIG. 2, yield curve information is shown for the five benchmark treasuries. Although only one curve is shown, the indicator 202 may show multiple curves representing multiple time periods.
- Trade status indicators include trade state indicators 205 and BBA instrument quotes 206.
- Trade state indicators 205 are displayed when the particular security is in a trade state.
- the trade state indicator provides information such as price information, volume information, and hit/take information.
- Hit/take information indicates whether the trade was a hit or take (i.e., a sale at a best-offer price, or purchase at a best-bid price, respectively).
- Quote board 204 displays current market quote information.
- board 204 displays instrument type information (such as 2Y or 3 Y treasury), last price information (including a hit/take indication), price change information, yield information, high price/yield/time information, and low price/yield/time information.
- FIGURES 3 and 4 illustrate additional aspects of the graphical depictions contemplated by various embodiments of the present invention.
- the information is preferably viewable by scrolling a cursor over a certain object to cause a dialog box to be presented.
- Scrolling the cursor (not expressly shown) over a stack may cause a box 302 to be displayed.
- Box 302 contains information such as instrument type, bid price, yield, and volume.
- the box 302 information is the type of information that would preferably be available for a non best-bid/ask stack. Similar information would be available for the ask stacks (i.e., the stacks representing securities being offered for purchase), except that an ask price would be provided instead of a bid price.
- Box 303 includes information such as instrument type, offer price, yield, aggregate volume, and incremental volumes.
- the incremental volumes represent the respective volumes of each order within the queue of the stack for a single price. For example, in box 303, the incremental volumes are 10, 8, 5, 5, and 2 respectively.
- the aggregate volume is the sum of the incremental volumes. For example, in box 303, the aggregate volume is 30. Similar information would be displayed in a box corresponding to a best bid stack, except that the bid price instead of the offer, or ask, would be displayed.
- box 304 Another example of an information box is box 304, which corresponds to a stack while the instrument is in a trade state.
- Box 304 displays information such as instrument type, hit/take, price, yield, volume, and price direction. Similar information is displayed in box 305 except the hit/take indication is "take,” because the trade-state stack that corresponds to box 305 is among the offer orders of the respective limit order book as opposed to the bid orders.
- hidden information may be provided in varying levels as desired. Multiple layers may be accessed by "drilling down," for example, to more and more detailed layers. Hidden information may be viewed in any number of configurations such as the illustrated boxes. Other possible configurations include such things as pop-up windows, scroll bars (at the bottom of the screen for example), and audio files. Hidden information, once accessed, may remain on the screen until affirmatively re-hidden, may remain for a predetermined period of time, or may return to a hidden status as the cursor leaves the object associate with the hidden information.
- the disclosure contemplates any routine by which hidden information is at least initially accessed to be made viewable, and any routine by which the information returns to a hidden state. hi FIG.
- FIG. 4 there is illustrated an example of certain information that may be "broken out” from the base graphical depiction (such as graphical depiction 201 or 301).
- slab 421 and its associate limit order book have been broken out and displayed in FIG. 4.
- the market presentation 400 shown in FIG. 4 also includes yield curve 402, quote board 404, instrument quote 406 and trading indicator 412.
- Indicator 412 corresponds to a top-down view of the horizontal section of one of the steps of the first portion of a graphical depiction (e.g., horizontal section 212). Any portion of the graphical depiction and collateral information shown in a market presentation may be zoomed, enlarged, broken out, rotated, another otherwise manipulated in order to provide the user with different views of the various pieces of information being illustrated in the respective market presentation.
- transactions in the financial instruments are enabled.
- a transaction is accomplished by taking an appropriate step or steps to execute transaction application 134 shown in FIG. 1.
- the trigger to engage the transaction application can be any suitable trigger, such as clicking on an icon, typing a textual command, pressing a predetermined key or series or combination of keys, and issuing a verbal command to system 100.
- market presentation or graphical depiction e.g., market presentation 200 or depiction 201
- application 134 presents a transaction dialog box for the user to complete additional information relating to the transaction.
- a confirmation window would provide the user with the opportunity to confirm the hit or take.
- the application 134 and interactive display window cooperate to allow the user to place bid or ask orders.
- FIGURE 5 comprises of a screen shot showing a graphical depiction of market information for five financial instruments in a single window on the display.
- FIG. 5 includes a yield curve indicator with multiple curves for five benchmark treasuries. Each individual curve represents a different time period: today, a week ago, a month ago, and a year ago.
- the invention is not limited to these four time periods. Instead, a user may customize the time periods according to their own needs.
- a display may also depict market information for futures.
- the futures information may be graphically depicted in a manner similar to that shown as example embodiments in FIG. 2-4.
- the futures information may be shown for multiple futures, or a combination of futures and treasuries (or other combinations of financial instruments).
- a graphical depiction includes steps 211 and slabs 221.
- steps and slabs may be replaced with similar steps and slabs representing futures instead of the treasuries indicated in FIG. 2.
- the information for the futures instruments can include any information desirable for analyzing the futures market and conducting transactions in the futures market. An example of this can be seen in FIG. 6. Instead of showing five financial instruments, all of the same class, the graphical representations of the 2- Year, 3-Year, and 5-Year treasuries have been substituted with futures.
- the system also can display comparative information such as basis information.
- Basis information can include information illustrating the relationship between cash (e.g., treasuries) instruments and futures instruments.
- Comparative information can also include curve swap information. Curve swap information includes information illustrating the relationship between at least two instruments of the same type, but having different maturities. Comparative information can also include Trade Differences information and Summed Net Change information.
- the graphical depiction can be manipulated to "break out" certain displayed information and present that information in a different format.
- a user may select certain limit order books (represented by slabs and their associated market stacks) and display only the selected instruments.
- the user can alter the arrangement of the instruments being depicted, such that the user can more easily view and compare certain instruments that are of interest to the user.
- the market data for intraday activity is not restricted to a single window.
- the three-dimensional graphical representation of the futures and treasury data is conveniently displayed in one window while the quote board and yield curve indicator, each of which can be separately closed or manually turned off, are each displayed in their own windows.
- the quote board and yield curve indicator each of which can be separately closed or manually turned off
- FIG. 7 depicts how graphs for both the 1OF future and 1OY treasury can be individually selected by the user, allowing them to be analyzed side-by-side over the same time period.
- the user may select multiple instruments and have certain information relevant to those instruments displayed in a different format, such as a two-dimensional format.

- intraday trading line graph comparing the selected future with the selected treasury.
- price trend indicators e.g., tick strips
- two- dimensional representations of associated market stacks are also shown.
- two- dimensional graphical, numerical, and bar chart indicators of basis information To the contrary of FIGURES 1-9, which show market data presented in three- dimensional representations, FIG.
- the information displayed may result, for example, from a user selecting a particular section or area within one of the three-dimensional representations described herein. For instance, by selecting a particular one or more stacks from a three-dimensional representation, the user may view additional detail regarding those stacks.
- the invention can require a user to be authenticated in order to see the full range of data content and features provided by the market presentation.
- Each feature can be given a permission set, whereby the number of permissions allowed for each user is associated with each user's login or other access code or information. These permission sets can be checked upon each login by a user. When a different user logs into the system, the previous features can be cleared, allowing the system to check the new user for the features they are authorized to access.
- the user's access information may be any information including, for example, the user's email address. This access information may be connected to additional user information, some of which includes: name, email address, phone number, account number, and firm name.

- the instrument selection also allows a user to arrange the view including size of window. Additionally, the display can be presented in a 3x3 or 2x3 view, or some other derived configuration.
- a further embodiment allows a user to select a display of Yield Curve or Yield Curve Change.
- Yield Curve Display a user may select the number of historic curves to display. Additionally, a user may group instruments by either type (Cash, Futures) or maturity (1OY Cash with 1OY Future).
- a user can select contract month for each future and manipulate the price formatting for each individual market data.
- the color of the respective price column(s) can change to a predetermined Trade State color. The Trade State color may be based on a timer, the length of which is a user preference, unless another trade occurs prior to the end of timer.
- the invention can store trade history, show Display Price data only in Trade Graph, and display the Open, High, Low, Close values in the Quote Board. Furthermore, contracts should roll automatically to active month on the day preceding First Notice Day.
- This embodiment allows a user to view the front two contract months and view calendar contracts, contracts that trade the two calendar months.
- a further embodiment allows the details of the Trade State to be displayed, thus communicating to a user the likelihood of price movement following the trade execution.
- Trading can be visually displayed through the stack, showing Unfilled Size and Excess Buy or Sell Order. This feature is seen as an outline (wire frame) of the available Volume of the Best Bid/Ask (BBA) column prior to the market entering Trade State.
- the volume frame representing the original Best Bid/Offer may be filled in with darker color used to represent Trade State. If the Buy or Sell Order Volume exceeds the BBA Volume available prior to Trade State, a layer in the color of the Bid above the Take/ Ask column Executed Volume is displayed to show Buy Order Excess, or a layer in the color of the Ask above the Hit/Bid column Executed Volume is displayed to show Sell Order Excess. hi a further embodiment, the user is allowed to change the color of all Bid/Ask volume columns to the Hit/Take color for all price levels that are included in the trade. Trading Through The Stack may be (for example) allowed up to three levels, that is, two Bid/ Ask price increments above/below the BBA.
- the system is capable of displaying basis information.
- information is the relationship between Cash and Futures instruments.
- Basis types differentiate in conversion factor input and screen display.
- the conversion factor may be equal to a published value set by an exchange and carried on the system's data feed.
- Features for Basis may include Trade Differences, wherein the Basis is derived each time either market trades, and summed Net Change Graph, the difference between the Net Change in Cash and the Net Change in Futures. Trade differences can be throttled to calculate only each time either market has a prior change. For summed Net Change Graph, the changes may be based on the same closing time; but, a user may have the option to apply the conversion factor weight to the Net Change.
- instrument names change four times per year as the front future contract rolls.
- the Quote Board may include the four basis instruments with the ability to choose which instruments a user wants to display.
- the display allows up to six instruments to be viewed (3x3 view).
- a user can select from various templates, thus allowing them to customize their display.
- Some of these templates include the ability to display a 3x3 view of two groups of three Limit Order Book slabs and historical graphs with a space between them, or a 2x2 view of two groups of three Limit Order Book slabs and historical graphs with a space between them.
- the templates also include a default 3x3 view
- the Limit Order Book can be displayed vertically and Intraday Tick Graphs or Limit Order Books can be displayed simultaneously. This allows a user to choose two markets to display in the Focus View. Additionally, at least two Tick Strip can be displayed vertically, the BBA tag can be placed to the right of the Limit Order Book, and the instrument label may be placed at the top of the Limit Order Book slab. Another view allows the spread between the two instruments as defined in Basis and Curve Swaps (T-Swaps) to be viewed in a Display Chart. Another embodiment allows a user to select and view the Yield Curve or Yield Curve Change graph.
- the Yield Curve change graph shows the differences between the current value and the curve over a certain period (e.g., yesterday, a week ago, a month ago, and a year ago). Each Curve can be color coordinated to match the time period the curve represents.
- the Yield Curve Change graph may include a legend, allowing a user to see which time period each color represents.
- the Yield Curve Change graph includes a Proportional Curve, ensuring the distances between the Benchmarks on the axis are proportional. Moreover, a zero line, representing no change, is clearly marked. A user has the option to either view Yield Curve Change graph, the Yield Curve graph, or hide the graph.
- the graph color corresponds to the colors used in current Yield Curve.
- a user By showing the net change of the curve rather than mere values, a user is able to see curve movements clearly. Additionally, it removes the manual process to post historic values. In a further embodiment, a user is allowed to select time comparison curves to be shown, e.g., overlay, T-I day and T-I month graphs.
- the Quote Board provides full quote information, allowing a user to depend exclusively on this application and not require a separate application to display a quote page in a format with which they are familiar.
- Futures, Basis, and Market-view data are added to the existing Quote Board.
- a user may group together data in one column or multiple columns.
- the Quote Board may be arranged to fit a user's preferences.
- the Quote Board is detachable with its own window controls. Additionally, when a user changes session preference, the Open, High, Low, Close and Net Change values should all change to the selected session.
- a further embodiment allows a user to normalize Limit Order Books for all instruments. Additionally, a user can normalize the Limit Order Book for orders (e.g., for one Benchmark only or according to other derived criteria).
- Another embodiment allows a user more intuitive access to the user preferences dialog menu. This may be accessed by a mouse click.
- the preference dialog menu allows font control, a View Selection tab allowing a user to activate drop down lists to select contract month (thereby instructing all Futures instruments to use the same contract month), and Limit Order Book tab to set time or duration for coloring of Trade State on Futures.
- a further embodiment allows a short cut menu to be accessed by clicking on any of the display's windows. This simplifies the use of the system by allowing simple access to the preferences of specific elements.
- a further embodiment of the present invention allows two instances of the invention to be accessed at the same time. Additionally, the invention can derive History of Basis given infrequent trades and provide trade history of financial instruments within specific marked exchanges.
