When a trading application on a client terminal receives a trade order, a
randomizer application may automatically randomize one or more order
parameters to generate a randomized order. For example, an order
quantity, a price level, and/or a time period between sending any two
consecutive orders may be randomized. In another example, in a thin
market randomized order quantities may be decreased and in a heavy market
randomized order quantities may be increased. The randomized order is
then automatically placed on the market.
