COMPUTERIZED METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SCALE TRADING

Disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented methods and systems that permit a market participant to automatically scale a block order into relatively smaller, incrementally priced scale trade component orders based on scale order parameters (such as price and size) provided by the market participant. The scale orders may continue automatically, without the need for further intervention from the market participant, until the total number of shares specified by the market participant is accumulated or sold. Some embodiments also permit the market participant to automatically submit opposite-side profit-taking component orders against the market participant's original scale order components. The profit-taking orders can be automatically created and submitted when the original scale order component has executed.
