A financial market replicator, simulator, and trainer / annotator (FMRS) intermixes and records data streams of real time financial market data from a variety of sources. The FMRS replays such recorded data to simulate the real time financial market(s) in a manner that represents substantially the entirety of information relating to the financial market(s) such that an observer would have difficulty differentiating between the simulator playback of the data and real time data. A user may employ the playback of the recorded market data stream as a research and training tool for developing and executing trading strategies. For example, a user may input simulated trades of securities to test a trading strategy. The simulator would apply those trades to the recorded data to generate simulated trades and simulated profit and loss results. A user may then determine if the trading strategy would have been successful. In addition, a user may alter the recording and playback parameters to provide various opportunities for studying market activity and / or altering the level of challenge of the simulation. A user may also freeze the simulator playback in order to explore the interactive and collective behaviors of the market's participants and the securities they trade.

The disclosed embodiments relate to a mechanism which may restrict or otherwise manage the extent of exposure of any particular market participant within the price movement threshold of a market protection system which interrupts market activity during extreme events, as well as to a mechanism for controlling risk of loss which acts to reduce or otherwise manage a market participant's ability to concentrate their exposure, or risk of loss, within a range of price levels and / or within correlated products that could be executed upon before the market participant, or other entity responsible for the activities thereof, e.g. a risk manager, has an opportunity to react to rapid market movement. Such a mechanism, once the market protection system had activated, e.g. by placing the market in reserve, may permit the market participant, or other party, the opportunity to modify or cancel unexecuted orders to mitigate potential losses.
