- This invention is directed to a system and method of trading options or other

- OFFER (e.g., $1.95 BID for 200 contracts, with 150 contracts OFFERed at $2.00) as well as the BIDs and OFFERs within the next four price levels.
- Numbers directly to the left of PRICE levels represent contracts BID for, and directly to the right of PRICE levels are the contracts OFFERed at those levels.
- the electronic book may be organized so that all orders are presented in an
- the display may provide bids and offers "at the market,” within several levels above and below the last sale, as well as
- the Weekly Options Market may be operated in accordance with the following
- the entered orders may be displayed in a screen or alternate window. Trading may take place in these 'windows'. Each window, as it appears sequentially, may be
- a window may be open for a predetermined amount of time, all marketable orders entered within that predetermined time frame may be executed in a "flash fill "in time precedent sequence of sellers trading to the bid limit and buyers trading to the offer limit in the time order that they were entered. It is believed that 20 seconds may be an adequate time to have each window opened for trading . Any excess supply or demand that is not satisfied by the specialist or his/her designation to floor brokers is carried over to the next window, and that market information is immediately disseminated, including "contracts ahead” reports for all carried orders. (A "carried order” is an order that was “marketable” going into the previous window, but not completely filled in that window.
- Marketable means either a market order to buy or a limit order to buy that is willing to pay at or above what was the current offer, or a market order to sell or a limit order to sell that was offered at or below the current bid.
- Each window displays a predetermined number of levels above and below the last trade. Preferably, five such levels above and below the last sale are displayed in each window.
- Orders are entered, changed, or canceled, provided they are not needed to fill carried over orders. Orders
- the specialist determines what his/her own participation may be in the current window out of all the possible trading sequences.
- the specialist is provided with exclusive access for a predetermined period of time which is
- the specialist makes a decision and posts the execution within the five second window.
- the system then unlocks the window and all of the orders that have accumulated within the current window, which includes the specialists participation in the first five seconds of the
- limit orders may be accepted. Fill-or-kill orders will not be accepted. There may be no matching the bid or offer, which would adversely affect customers with orders on the book.
- each sale may be within $0.05
- the specialist may be required to print at least 10 contracts at every $0.05
- the specialist can only enter orders to buy on straight plus ticks or sell on straight minus ticks to unwind and not to add to his/her positions. This eliminates his/her
- the specialist can trade for his/her own account by purchasing on minus, zero minus, and zero plus ticks and selling on plus, zero, and zero minus ticks and selling on plus, zero plus, and zero minus ticks. Any order the specialist chooses to enter competes with the traders and broker firms according to the aforementioned price and time entry parameters.
- the electronic book automatically matches marketable orders and offers the specialist a quantity of option contracts to buy or sell at all possible price levels, at which point
- the electronic book may track the specialist's position for his/her information only and
- the electronic book automatically tracks the specialists position and will adjust the standing of his/her bids or offers once the
- the parameters may be modified to allow options below $ 5.00 to move $ 0.10 per trading level, or twenty cents $ 0.20 per window. This special situation will allow the specialist to handle a move in the S&P 500 of 2 points per 20 second window or six points per minute (approximately 5O Dow
