The term ‘trading system’ often has the connotation of ‘trading method’ or way of trading rather than referring to the computer system that is used to process trades.

They will typically include some form of portfolio or history of accumulated trades that can be ‘marked-to-market’ (i.e. priced using current market prices not those at which they were traded) to show some sort of trading performance and risk management reporting.
