Systems and Methods to Obfuscate Market Data on a Trading Device

Abstract

Systems and methods to obfuscate market data on a trading device are disclosed. An example method includes receiving market data related to a tradeable object at a first computing device, generating, by the first computing device, a trading interface to present the market data to a trader and reconfiguring the trading interface from a first mode to a second mode in response to a privacy command supplied by the trader via the first computing device. The first computing device is to obfuscate the market data presented by the trading interface when in the second mode. The example method includes receiving, by a second computing device, the obfuscated market data in response to the privacy command and generating, by the second computing device, a private interface to present the obfuscated market data to the trader in response to the privacy command.

1 . (canceled) 
     
     
         2 . A method comprising:
 receiving at a first computing device market data related to a tradeable object;   generating by the first computing device a trading interface to present the market data to a trader;   reconfiguring by the first computing device the trading interface from a first mode to a second mode in response to receiving a privacy command supplied by the trader via the first computing device, the first computing device to obfuscate the market data presented by the trading interface when in the second mode; and   providing by the first computing device the obfuscated market data to a second computing device in response to the privacy command, the second computing device to generate a private interface to present the obfuscated market data to the trader in response to the privacy command.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the second computing device comprises an optical head mounted display to render the private interface. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising projecting, by the first computing device, the trading interface onto a surface to present the trading interface to the trader. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising obfuscating the market data when the trading interface is in the second mode by suppressing display of the market data. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising obfuscating the market data when the trading interface is in the second mode by symbolically representing the market data with a symbol comprising at least one of a Quick Response (QR) code, a uniform resource locator (URL), a pictogram, a color, a gradient, or an altered textual string. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the obfuscated market data is provided to the second computing device via the symbolically represented market data, the second computing device interpreting the symbolically represented market data captured via a camera of the second computing device to generate the obfuscated market data. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the obfuscated market data is provided to the second computing device via the symbolically represented market data, the second computing device retrieving the obfuscated market data from a remote source identified by the symbol. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 detecting a trading command supplied by the trader to execute a trade associated with the trading object when the trading interface is in the second mode; and   displaying a request for confirmation of the trade in response to the trading command.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 detecting a selection command supplied by the trader to select the obfuscated market data associated with an area of the trading interface when in the second mode; and   altering the trading interface to visually demarcate the area of the trading interface in response to the selection command, the second computing device to alter the private interface to visually demarcate the selected market data associated with the area in response to the selection command.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the first computing device is a mobile device. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the first computing device is a trading device. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the second computing device is a wearable computing device. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the second computing device aligns the private interface generated by the second computing device with the trading interface generated by the first computing device.
