    provide the user terminal with a button associated with a specified client of the broker and adapted upon selection to cause the user terminal to shift to a client-perspective mode in which information displayed in the market-information window is displayed from the perspective of the specified client and actions taken using the order-entry window are taken on behalf of the specified client,wherein the matching engine is further configured to provide a button associated with the broker and adapted upon selection to cause the user terminal to shift to a client-neutral mode in which the broker may enter orders in the market without specifying any particular client.
