Abstract

Systems are provided to manage option information. According to some embodiments, a user interface is provided including at least one option quote area presenting a plurality of option quotes, and an order entry area comprising input areas for inputting two or more option orders. A selection of one of the presented plurality of option quotes may be received and details of an option order corresponding to the selected option quote may be presented in appropriate input areas of the order entry area. In some aspects, a number of option quotes to present in at least one of the at least one option quote area is received, and the number of option quotes is presented in the at least one of the at least one option quote area.

         20 . The computer-implemented method according to  claim 15 , wherein the step of presenting the at least one option quote area comprises:
 receiving a number of strike prices above and/or below a particular option strike price for which associated option quotes should be presented in at least one of the at least one option quote area; and   presenting option quotes associated with the number of strike prices above and/or below the particular option strike price in the at least one of the at least one option quote area.   
     
     
         21 . The computer-implemented method according to  claim 20 , wherein the particular strike price is equal to a current price of a security underlying the option. 
     
     
         22 . The computer-implemented method according to  claim 15 , wherein the step of presenting the at least one option quote area comprises:
 determining a color based on a difference between a strike price of an option quote and a price of a security underlying the presented option quote; and   presenting the option quote in association with the color.   
     
     
         23 . The computer-implemented method according to  claim 15 , wherein the step of presenting the at least one option quote area comprises:
 determining an option exchange associated with an option quote;   determining a color associated with the option exchange; and   presenting the option quote in association with the color.   
     
     
         24 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing processor-executable process steps, the process steps comprising:
 a step to present at least one option quote area presenting a plurality of option quotes; and   a step to present an order entry area comprising input areas for inputting two or more option orders.   
     
     
         25 . The non-transitory computer-readable  claim 24 , the process steps further comprising:
 a step to receive a selection of one of the presented plurality of option quotes; and   a step to present details of an option order corresponding to the selected option quote in appropriate input areas of the order entry area.   
     
     
         26 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to  claim 25 , the process steps further comprising:
 a step to receive a selection of a second one of the presented plurality of option quotes; and   a step to present details of a second option order corresponding to the second selected option quote in second appropriate input areas of the order entry area.   
     
     
         27 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to  claim 24 , wherein the step to present the at least one option quote area comprises:
 a step to receive a number of strike prices above and/or below a particular option strike price for which associated option quotes should be presented in at least one of the at least one option quote area; and   a step to present option quotes associated with the number of strike prices above and/or below the particular option strike price in the at least one of the at least one option quote area.   
     
     
         28 . The non-transitory computer-readable according to  claim 27 , wherein the particular strike price is equal to a current price of a security underlying the option.
