Patent ID: 7548882

Claim:
A method for determining implied market information in an electronic trading environment, the method comprising: selecting by a computing device a first tradable object; generating by the computing device a plurality of identity vectors, each identity vector representing a different tradeable object of a plurality of tradable objects related to the first tradable object, wherein the plurality of tradeable objects includes the first tradeable object, and wherein each identity vector is of a dimension equal to a number of tradeable objects in the plurality of tradeable objects; generating by the computing device a plurality of definition vectors, each definition vector representing a strategy market comprising two or more of the plurality of tradeable objects, wherein each definition vector is of a dimension equal to the number of tradeable objects in the plurality of tradeable objects; generating by the computing device a plurality of different market combination vectors based on at least two vectors of a plurality of available vectors using vector substitution, wherein the plurality of available vectors comprises the identity vectors, the definition vectors, and previously generated market combination vectors, wherein each of the plurality of different market combination vectors represents an independent market combination for the first tradable object, wherein the generation of the plurality of different market combination vectors continues until a preset stopping point; determining by the computing device implied market information for the first tradable object using the plurality of different market combination vectors, wherein the implied market information comprises implied order prices; and displaying the implied market information by a client device.
