摘要

A computerized trading system is provided including a streamlined trading user interface for analyzing market trends and identifying trade opportunities. In an embodiment, the trading user interface includes a plurality of streamlined user interface screens that sequence the flow of market information from analyzing market data and arriving at a buy/sell decision, to executing the trade.

Preferably, the trading interface employs color coding to provide an at-a-glance summary of market conditions, thereby minimizing the analysis effort and reducing the intense focus on screen activity. The trading interface further includes a plurality of real-time market edge indicators for identifying a potential trade opportunity.
