1. A computer-implemented method of conducting a pairs trade, said method comprising:
- presenting, by a programmed computer, a plurality of predefined pairs of unrelated securities;
receiving, by the programmed computer, a selection of a predefined pair from said plurality of predefined pairs for a pairs trade order, said predefined pair for said pairs trade order comprising a first leg and a second leg;
entering, by the programmed computer, said pairs trade order as a single order in an order book designated to receive orders for said predefined pair;
determining, by the programmed computer, whether order parameters associated with said first leg and said second leg have been met; and
executing, by the programmed computer, said pairs trade order when order parameters associated with said first leg and said second leg are both met.

8. A computer-implemented method of pairing securities, said method comprising:
-
receiving, by a programmed computer, a request to pair at least two legs of unrelated securities, each security associated with a different asset class; identifying, by a programmed computer, a first security from a first asset class associated with a first leg; identifying, by a programmed computer, a second security from a second asset class associated with a second leg; determining, by a programmed computer, whether said first leg and said second leg are tradable as a pair; and creating, by a programmed computer, said requested pair of said unrelated securities, said created pair represented by a unique identifier. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
