Abstract:
A foreign exchange pricing system includes a computer system executing a foreign exchange pricing application, the foreign exchange pricing application capable of displaying foreign exchange pricing information. A dedicated controller, including a joystick, is operatively coupled to the computer system. A user can employ the joystick to display or alter the pricing information. Preferably, the dedicated controller includes a combination of a keyboard and the joystick. The displayed pricing information will preferably relate to either spot rates or forward rates. The foreign exchange pricing system can determine that the joystick has moved in a certain position to invoke a specified procedure. For example, the invoked procedure might perform setting a bid price, setting an ask price, publishing a bid and an ask price, resetting entered information, setting a minimum spread, setting a maximum spread, setting a normal spread, publishing spread control information, setting a skew, publishing skew control information, or setting status control information.
