Customizable Trading Display Quadrant Configuration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Contemporary trading systems provide static and unchangeable displays of market data, failing to adapt dynamically to traders' needs and requiring resizing or loss of content when customizations are made.
Innovation Solution
A customizable trading display system that allows traders to select and configure quadrants with market data, enabling dynamic filtering and expansion of market data, with automatic retrieval and updating of data for selected instruments, and scalable display management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the trading display is configured statically during installation, then the system provides stable and consistent market data presentation, but the trader cannot customize the display according to specific trading needs or market conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The trading display configuration is transformed from a static state fixed during installation to a dynamic state that can be modified at runtime. Traders can now select and configure quadrants, benchmark instruments, and market data parameters on-demand, allowing the display to adapt to changing trading needs and market conditions without requiring system reconfiguration or administrator intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The trading display is divided into multiple independent quadrants, each associated with a benchmark instrument and its related non-benchmark instruments. This segmentation allows traders to selectively configure and customize individual quadrants without affecting the entire display system, providing granular control over market data presentation while maintaining overall system stability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the trading display allows dynamic customization at runtime, then the trader can adapt the display to specific needs, but the system requires complex configuration changes that may affect display stability
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables dynamic configuration changes at runtime while maintaining display stability through a structured approach. Traders can modify quadrant selections, benchmark instruments, and market data parameters on-demand, and these changes are applied without disrupting the overall display architecture or requiring system reinitialization, ensuring continuous stable operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-establishes a framework of multiple quadrants associated with benchmark instruments and their related instruments during installation. This preliminary configuration provides a stable foundation that enables subsequent runtime customizations without requiring fundamental system changes, as the basic structure is already in place to accommodate dynamic adjustments.
3Quantity of substance
If the display presents expanded market data for multiple instruments, then the trader receives comprehensive market information, but the display requires more screen space that may not be available on standard workstations
Solution Approach 1:
The trading display is organized into multiple quadrants, each dedicated to a specific benchmark instrument and its related non-benchmark instruments. This segmentation allows comprehensive market data to be distributed across the display area in an organized manner, enabling the presentation of expanded market information for multiple instruments while efficiently utilizing the available screen space on standard workstations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system utilizes the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the display screen to arrange multiple quadrants in a grid layout. By organizing market data across two spatial dimensions rather than requiring excessive linear space, the system can present comprehensive market information for multiple instruments within the constraints of standard workstation screen real estate.
4Ease of operation
If the trading system allows traders to select and configure quadrants dynamically, then the display becomes highly adaptable to trader needs, but the system complexity increases requiring additional configuration management
Solution Approach 1:
The trading display system enables traders to independently configure and customize their own displays without requiring administrator intervention or complex system reconfiguration. Traders can directly select quadrants, choose benchmark instruments, and adjust market data parameters through user-friendly interfaces, making the configuration process self-service and eliminating the need for additional configuration management overhead.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for providing a customizable trading display of market instrument data includes selecting a subset from a plurality of quadrants, with each quadrant associated with one benchmark instrument and each benchmark instrument associated with one or more non-benchmark instruments. Market data is automatically retrieved for the instruments associated with each selected quadrant. A customizable trading display is generated, with the display comprising the subset of quadrants in a selectable layout and each quadrant presenting the associated market data.
