1. A method for automatic yield curve trading, comprising:
- creating the yield curve from electronic trading information from two or more real or synthetic trading instruments or contracts on a first application on a target network device with one or more processors;
creating a yield curve trading strategy on the first application on the target network device for the yield curve to automatically and simultaneously execute one or more electronic trades for the yield curve in one or more electronic trading markets;
sending the yield curve and the yield curve trading strategy to a second application on a server network device with one or more processors via a communications network to automatically execute the one or more electronic trades for the yield curve, thereby making the execution of the one or more electronic trades for the yield curve faster and more reliable than executing the one or more electronic trades via the first application on the target network device alone;
receiving simultaneously on the first application on the target network device and on the second application on the server network device two or more sets of electronic trading information from one or more electronic trading exchanges including electronic trading information for the two or more real or synthetic trading entities for the yield curve via the communications network;
automatically executing on the second application on the server network device with the yield curve trading strategy created for the yield curve the one or more electronic trades for the yield curve;
displaying automatically via the first application on the target network device selected ones of the two or more sets of electronic trading information on a graphical window on a graphical user interface with a plurality of graphical windows used for electronic trading; and
automatically requesting via the graphical window on the first application on the target network device one or more additional electronic trades be executed for the yield curve on the one or more electronic trading exchanges, wherein the one or more additional electronic trade requests are automatically sent to the second application on the server network device by the graphical window for execution.

Abstract
A method and system for providing automatic electronic trading via yield curves. A yield curve is automatically traded via one or more electronic trading exchanges on a client device and/or a server device and/or a combination thereof, thereby making the execution of electronic trades for the yield curve faster and more reliable than when executing on one network device alone.

1. A method for automatic yield curve trading, comprising:
-
creating the yield curve from electronic trading information from two or more real or synthetic trading instruments or contracts on a first application on a target network device with one or more processors; creating a yield curve trading strategy on the first application on the target network device for the yield curve to automatically and simultaneously execute one or more electronic trades for the yield curve in one or more electronic trading markets; sending the yield curve and the yield curve trading strategy to a second application on a server network device with one or more processors via a communications network to automatically execute the one or more electronic trades for the yield curve, thereby making the execution of the one or more electronic trades for the yield curve faster and more reliable than executing the one or more electronic trades via the first application on the target network device alone; receiving simultaneously on the first application on the target network device and on the second application on the server network device two or more sets of electronic trading information from one or more electronic trading exchanges including electronic trading information for the two or more real or synthetic trading entities for the yield curve via the communications network; automatically executing on the second application on the server network device with the yield curve trading strategy created for the yield curve the one or more electronic trades for the yield curve; displaying automatically via the first application on the target network device selected ones of the two or more sets of electronic trading information on a graphical window on a graphical user interface with a plurality of graphical windows used for electronic trading; and automatically requesting via the graphical window on the first application on the target network device one or more additional electronic trades be executed for the yield curve on the one or more electronic trading exchanges, wherein the one or more additional electronic trade requests are automatically sent to the second application on the server network device by the graphical window for execution. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system for automatic yield curve trading, comprising in combination:
-
means for creating the yield curve from two or more real or synthetic trading instruments or contracts on a first application on a target network device with one or more processors; means for creating a yield curve trading strategy on the first application on the target network device for the yield curve to automatically and simultaneously execute one or more electronic trades for the yield curve in one or more electronic trading markets, wherein the one or more trades in the yield curve have a pre-determined relationship; means for sending the yield curve and the yield curve trading strategy to a second application on a server network device with one or more processors via a communications network to automatically execute the one or more electronic trades for the yield curve, thereby making the execution of the one or more electronic trades for the yield curve faster and more reliable than executing the one or more electronic trades via the first application on the target network device alone; means for receiving simultaneously on the first application on the target network device and on the second application on the server network device two or more sets of electronic trading information from one or more electronic trading exchanges including electronic trading information for the two or more real or synthetic trading entities for the yield curve via the communications network; means for automatically executing on the second application on the server network device with the yield curve trading strategy created for the yield curve the one or more electronic trades for the yield curve; means for displaying automatically via the first application on the target network device selected ones of the two or more sets of electronic trading information on an aggregate book view/ask bid volume (ABV) window on a graphical user interface with a plurality of graphical windows used for electronic trading, including displaying bid size and bid offer by price in a market depth format for the two or more real or synthetic electronic trading entities used to create the yield curve and displaying prices in a dynamic price column in the ABV window, wherein the ABV window includes an order entry mode for entering a trade near, or away from a current last traded price, wherein the ABV window allows entering and canceling of electronic trading orders and automatically sending electronic trading orders entered into the ABV window at a selected price to the one or more electronic trading exchanges; means for automatically and dynamically re-centering the dynamic price column in the ABV window upon a current last traded price that continuously and dynamically changes with price fluctuations in the current last traded price; and means for automatically requesting via the ABV window on the first application on the target network device one or more additional electronic trades be executed for the yield curve on the one or more electronic trading exchanges, wherein the one or more additional electronic trades are automatically sent to the second application on the server network device by the ABV window for execution. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 20)
