1. A method for processing electronic trading information, comprising:
- receiving a first data stream including a plurality of different types of electronic trading information on a server device from an electronic trading exchange via a communications network;
splitting the first data stream on the server device into a plurality of second data streams in real-time, wherein each of the plurality of second data streams includes one or more of the plurality of different types of electronic trading information from the first data stream; and
making the plurality of second data streams available in real-time to a plurality of target devices via the server devices,thereby allowing the plurality of target devices to selectively request one or more of the plurality of second data streams from the server device in real-time andallowing an individual target device to receive and use the one or more of the plurality of types of electronic trading information in the plurality of second data streams for electronic trading faster and more efficiently than receiving and using the same electronic trading information from the entire first data stream device,wherein the individual target device is able to receive selected ones of the plurality of second date streams using less bandwidth from the server device and wherein processing the selected ones of the plurality of second data streams on the target device requires less processing cycles than processing the entire first data stream including all of the plurality of types of electronic trading information.

Abstract
A method and system for providing electronic information for multi-market electronic trading. The method and system dramatically improve an infrastructure used by electronic traders over a communications network by separating one or more data streams from one or more trading exchange with plural different types of electronic trading information into plural separate data streams that can be selected and displayed by a user on a target device. The plural separate data streams and can be requested, displayed and used faster and more efficiently than an entire data stream including all the multiple types of electronic trading information.

1. A method for processing electronic trading information, comprising:
-
receiving a first data stream including a plurality of different types of electronic trading information on a server device from an electronic trading exchange via a communications network; splitting the first data stream on the server device into a plurality of second data streams in real-time, wherein each of the plurality of second data streams includes one or more of the plurality of different types of electronic trading information from the first data stream; and making the plurality of second data streams available in real-time to a plurality of target devices via the server devices, thereby allowing the plurality of target devices to selectively request one or more of the plurality of second data streams from the server device in real-time and allowing an individual target device to receive and use the one or more of the plurality of types of electronic trading information in the plurality of second data streams for electronic trading faster and more efficiently than receiving and using the same electronic trading information from the entire first data stream device, wherein the individual target device is able to receive selected ones of the plurality of second date streams using less bandwidth from the server device and wherein processing the selected ones of the plurality of second data streams on the target device requires less processing cycles than processing the entire first data stream including all of the plurality of types of electronic trading information. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A method for processing electronic trading information, comprising:
-
receiving a first data stream including a plurality different types of electronic trading information on a first server device from an electronic trading exchange via a communications network; sending the first data stream from the first server device to a second server device; splitting the first data stream on the second server device into a plurality of second data streams in real-time, wherein each of the plurality of second data streams includes one or more of the plurality of different types of electronic trading information from the first data stream; and sending the plurality second data streams from the second server device to a third server device in real-time, wherein the third server device allows a plurality of target devices to selectively request one or more of the plurality of second data streams, thereby allowing a target device to receive and use the one or more of the plurality of types of electronic trading information for electronic trading in the second data stream faster than receiving and using the same electronic trading information from the entire first data stream, wherein the individual target device is able to receive selected ones of the plurality of second data streams using less bandwidth from the third server device and wherein processing the selected ones of the plurality of second data streams on the target device requires less processing cycles than processing the entire first data stream including all of the plurality of types of electronic trading information. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for displaying electronic trading information from a plurality of data streams, comprising:
-
receiving one or more data streams from a plurality of second data streams on a target device from a server device via a communications network, wherein the one or more of a plurality of second data streams are split in real-time from a first data stream including a plurality of types of electronic information related to electronic trading from one or more electronic trading exchanges; and displaying electronic trading information from the one or more of the plurality of second data streams on an electronic display on the target device in real-time, wherein the electronic display is selectively configurable by a user using the target device for electronic trading based on the selected ones of the plurality of second data streams selected, wherein the target device is able to receive selected ones of the plurality of second data streams using less bandwidth from the server device and wherein processing and displaying the selected ones of the plurality of second data streams on the target device requires less processing cycles than processing and displaying the entire first data stream including all of the plurality of types of electronic trading information. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. An electronic trading information processing system, comprising in combination:
-
a receiving means for receiving a plurality of first data streams including a plurality different types of electronic trading information from a plurality of different electronic trading exchanges via a communications network in real-time; a splitting means for splitting the plurality of first data streams into a plurality of second data streams in real-time, wherein each of the plurality of second data streams includes one or more of the plurality of different types of electronic trading information from the plurality of first data streams; and a selection means for making available the plurality of the second data streams in real-time and for allowing a plurality of target devices to selectively request one or more of the plurality of second data streams in real-time, thereby allowing an individual target device to receive and use the one or more of the plurality of types of electronic trading information in the plurality of second data streams faster than receiving and using the same electronic trading information from an entire first data stream, wherein the individual target device is able to receive selected ones of the plurality of second data streams in real-time using less bandwidth from selection means and wherein processing the selected ones of the plurality of second data streams on the target device requires less processing cycles than processing the entire first data stream including all of the plurality of different types of electronic trading information. - View Dependent Claims (20)
