Implied prices and their quantities are computed. Markets are
characterized by exhaustively computing one or more combinations of other
related markets. Each combination when summed in a particular way results
in the market under consideration. In a described embodiment, the number
of market combinations found is an exhaustive list of market combinations
such that the market under consideration can be fully and completely
characterized, such that each combination provides implied market
information about the market under consideration. Implied market
information can include implied prices and their quantities, which are
computed for each combination and used accordingly in displays or used by
automated or semi-automated trading tools.
