Each client 102 is preferably a trading workstation or device operable to present a market participant with display 116 via a graphical user interface (GUI). At a high level, illustrated client 102 includes GUI 112, memory 120 and processor 125 and comprises an electronic computing device operable to receive, transmit, process and store any appropriate data associated with system 100. It will be understood that there may be any number of clients 102 coupled to server 104, as illustrated by client 102a and client 102b. Further, “client 102” and “user of client 102” may be used interchangeably without departing from the scope of this disclosure. As used herein, client 102 is intended to encompass a personal computer, workstation, network computer, kiosk, wireless data port, personal data assistant (PDA), one or more processors within these or other devices, or any other suitable processing device. For example, client 102 may comprise a computer that includes an input device, such as a keypad, touch screen, mouse, or other device that can accept information, and an output device that conveys information associated with the operation of server 104 or clients 102, including digital data, visual information, or display 116. Moreover, client 102 may comprise a keyboard customized to match display 116, with each key mapped to a particular component, view, or functionality of display 116. Both the input device and output device may include fixed or removable storage media such as a magnetic computer disk, CD-ROM, or other suitable media to both receive input from and provide output to users of clients 102 through the display 116 by way of, for example, the GUI
Data provider 106 typically comprises a third party web server or an enterprise agent residing on a machine operable to communicate at least a portion of market data 118 for storage in central repository 110. It will be understood that data provider 106 may be remote or local. Further, data provider 106 may represent a separate process running on server 104 or client 102 without departing from the scope of this disclosure. Generally, data provider 106 is any hardware, software, or logic operable to provide system 100 with at least a subset of any appropriate market data 118. System 100 may comprise any number of data providers 106, as illustrated by data providers 106a and 106b. For example, a plurality of data providers 106 may be communicably daisy-chained off a master provider 106. Master data provider 106 may compile and verify substantially all of market data 118 and communicate the compiled market data 118 to server 104 upon request or at a scheduled time.
Another embodiment allows a user to select and view the Yield Curve or Yield Curve Change graph. The Yield Curve change graph shows the differences between the current value and the curve over a certain period (e.g., yesterday, a week ago, a month ago, and a year ago). Each Curve can be color coordinated to match the time period the curve represents. The Yield Curve Change graph may include a legend, allowing a user to see which time period each color represents. The Yield Curve Change graph includes a Proportional Curve, ensuring the distances between the Benchmarks on the axis are proportional. Moreover, a zero line, representing no change, is clearly marked. A user has the option to either view Yield Curve Change graph, the Yield Curve graph, or hide the graph. The graph color corresponds to the colors used in current Yield Curve. By showing the net change of the curve rather than mere values, a user is able to see curve movements clearly. Additionally, it removes the manual process to post historic values. In a further embodiment, a user is allowed to select time comparison curves to be shown, e.g., overlay, T−1 day and T−1 month graphs.
