A system and method for displaying and controlling risk related
information in an electronic trading environment are described. One
method includes creating a display interface including a data structure
and a display grid. The data structure may be a tree-based data structure
with a plurality of data nodes associated with trader-related risk
information, where the data in the data nodes is automatically updated
based on fill information being received from at least one electronic
exchange. Also, the data structure includes the ability to select,
manipulate, and group the data nodes based on user preferences. The
method further includes selecting data nodes to be mapped to the at least
one data grid, and displaying trader-related risk information
corresponding to the selected data nodes on the at least one data grid.
