Abstract

A data feed is monitored to determine whether a condition is satisfied. If the condition is satisfied, an alert is initiated to attract a user'"'"'s attention. Thereafter, playback mode is entered causing the example system to playback a short period of time-compressed data that occurred just prior to the event occurring to set context for the user. Once the playback signal has caught up with the real-time data feed, the data is output at normal levels. Other configurations, which are described herein, are also possible.

Claims

1. (canceled)

2. An electronic trading device comprising:

a data input configured to receive market information for a tradeable object via a data feed;

an electronic storage medium configured to store a predetermined amount of market information as the market information is received; and

an electronic processor coupled with the memory configured to replay the stored predetermined amount of market information in response to detecting a triggerable event in the data feed, the stored predetermined amount including information for the tradeable object received in the data feed prior to the triggerable event being detected.

3. The electronic trading device of claim 2 where the stored predetermined amount is replayed at a user-selectable playback rate of a range of playback rates, where the range playback rates includes an upper playback rate limit and a lower playback rate limit.

4. The electronic trading device of claim 2 where the electronic processor is further configured to detect the triggerable event in the market information.

5. The electronic trading device of claim 2 where the electronic processor is further configured to replay the stored predetermined amount according to a user-selectable format.

6. The electronic trading device of claim 2 where the stored predetermined amount is replayed at least until the replayed stored predetermined amount of market information coincides with substantially present market information of the data feed.

7. The electronic trading device of claim 2 where the triggerable event comprises a keyword or keyword phrase.

8. The electronic trading device of claim 2 where only a part of the stored predetermined amount is replayed in response to the triggerable event being detected.

9. The electronic trading device of claim 2 where replaying occurs without human intervention after the triggerable event is detected.

10. The electronic trading device of claim 2 where replaying occurs in response to detecting a user visually focusing on a target area.

11. The electronic trading device of claim 2 further comprising providing an output for video, audio, or both video and audio components, in response to detecting the triggerable event.

12. The electronic trading device of claim 11 where the stored predetermined amount of market information is replayed until an end of the stored predetermined amount being replayed.
