Keyboard Trader

Keyboard Trader is a keyboard-based execution system designed to speed up manual futures trading. It is owned and operated by Bionic Trader Systems, a Chicago-based technology firm created in 2010 by trader Adam Sheldon. The software component connects to markets through the APIs of leading futures front-ends. Keyboards are also offered by Bionic Trader Systems that work with the software.
The goal of Keyboard Trader is to provide manual traders a faster way to trade than using a mouse. The product is configurable to allows users to trade spreads, baskets, single products, or a full portfolio with single keys, or a combination of keys. Users can also adjust the meanings of the keys on the fly, enabling them to quickly adjust the products they trade each day with the same keyboard interface.
Active intraday traders can use Keyboard Trader for fast scalping and quick position changes. Spread traders may use it if auto-spreading doesn't work well for their trading strategies, or if they prefer to work the legs of their spreads manually but faster than with a mouse. Others may use Keyboard Trader as a position management tool or insurance policy, given its ability to execute orders on many products quickly.
Risk management components are included within Keyboard Trader that allow traders to reduce their position limits on the fly to figures below what their broker provides. Keyboard Trader also includes a macro builder for custom development of order entry techniques, and a set of utilities for quick rollovers, macro import/export, and other workspace adjustments. 
== History ==
Bionic launched Keyboard Trader in September 2012. In October 2012, it became a connected partner on Trading Technologies' X TRADER platform. On April 1, 2013, Keyboard Trader launched as an add-on for CQG Integrated Client. On April 5, 2013, Bionic Trader Systems became a Certified CQG API Partner.

Kidder, Peabody & Co. (Kidder Peabody) was an independent U.S. investment bank for over 120 years until bought first by General Electric and then, after trading scandals, by now-defunct Wall Street rival Paine Webber, which eliminated the Kidder Peabody brand. Paine Webber was itself consumed by Swiss investment banking giant UBS in 2000.
Kidder, Peabody & Co. began in 1865 in Massachusetts as a commercial, investment and merchant bank and later developed as an independent securities dealing and trading firm until 1986, when it was sold to General Electric for $600 million. In 1994 GE sold Kidder Peabody to Paine Webber for $670 million and a 25% stake in the buyer after the firm became entangled first in an insider trading scandal and then a $350 million bond-trading scam. GE's 25% stake in Paine Webber acquired after selling Kidder Peabody netted it $1.5 billion when Paine Webber was acquired by UBS in 2000.
