Patent attributes
The invention provides systems, methods, and programs for improved computer trading of financial and other interests, including improvements in the making, acceptance, and control of proposals for transactions in interests. Among improvements provided by the invention are the presentation of terms of proposed transactions to trading parties in terms selected or otherwise designated by the trading parties. For example, terms of proposed transactions may be displayed in present or future values, such as in straight or split amounts for forward swap agreements. Prices in currency exchanges may be expressed in terms of any of the involved currencies. Improvements further include improved means for changing terms of proposed transactions, and especially groups or sets of proposed transactions; restrictions on repeated acceptance of transaction proposals; trading by users on each other's behalf; and improved display of transaction information associated with fellow traders.
