A method for swapping a financially tradeable instrument is disclosed. That method provides a plurality of swap orders for display at a station connected to a distributed computer network. A central server connected to the station obtains a selection of a particular swap order and terms for executing the trade. The terms of the trade are compared to in price, number and hedge, and, in the event that the terms match, the swap order is handled by automatically executing the swap order. In another aspect of the invention, a method for swapping a financially tradeable instrument allows a user to rapidly select and execute a particular swap order in a given instrument. In accordance with that aspect of the invention, a plurality of swap orders is displayed at a station connected to a distributed computer network. A user selects a particular swap order from the display and thereafter confirms that the terms of the selected swap order are acceptable. If the terms are confirmed as acceptable, the swap order is forwarded for automatic execution. |
