Dynamic Pay-Up Tick Adjustment for Electronic Trading
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In electronic trading, existing automated spread trading tools lack dynamic adjustment capabilities for order entry strategies, limiting traders' ability to react quickly to market changes and optimize trading conditions.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of conditional pay-up ticks, which allow traders to dynamically modify acceptable price levels for offset orders based on predefined market conditions or data, enabling automatic adjustments in trading strategies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If automated spread trading tools use static user-configurable offset prices, then the system is simple to operate, but the system cannot dynamically adapt to changing market conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic offset pricing by allowing the offset price to automatically adjust based on real-time market conditions. The system monitors current market prices and dynamically modifies the offset price from the static user-configurable value to a dynamic value that reflects current market conditions, enabling the system to adapt to changing environments without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of offset price from a fixed user-configurable value to a dynamically adjustable value based on market conditions. The system automatically modifies the offset price parameter in response to market price changes, allowing the trading tool to adapt its behavior without changing its fundamental structure or complexity.
2Speed
If traders manually monitor market conditions and adjust offset prices, then the system maintains simplicity, but trading speed and responsiveness to market changes decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the automated spread trading tool to automatically monitor market conditions and adjust its own offset price without requiring manual trader intervention. The system autonomously detects market price changes and dynamically modifies the offset price, eliminating the need for traders to manually monitor and adjust parameters while maintaining operational simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors market conditions and uses this information to automatically adjust the offset price. The feedback loop enables the system to respond to market changes in real-time, increasing trading speed while maintaining ease of operation through automated decision-making based on market data.
3Productivity
If the system uses dynamic conditional pay-up ticks, then trading effectiveness and market responsiveness improve, but the complexity of the trading tool increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by implementing conditional pay-up ticks that automatically adjust based on market conditions. The pay-up tick value is no longer static but dynamically modifies according to predefined market conditions, enabling the system to optimize trading effectiveness across different market environments without requiring complex manual configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the pay-up tick parameter from a fixed value to a dynamically adjustable parameter based on market conditions. The system automatically modifies the pay-up tick value in response to market price changes and other conditions, improving trading effectiveness by adapting to varying market volatility and conditions without proportionally increasing tool complexity.

AI summary
A system and method are provided for trading a trading strategy defined for at least one tradeable object in an electronic trading environment. More specifically, one example method includes using a first pay-up tick value to determine a first acceptable price level for an order associated with the trading strategy, automatically modifying the first pay-up tick to a second pay-up tick value in response to detecting a predefined condition, and using the second pay-up tick value to determine a second acceptable price level for the order associated with the trading strategy.
