Abstract: The present invention provides a system, apparatus and method for performing a multiple condition investment transaction by: (a) receiving a transaction request for an investment containing two or more non-time-based conditions, each non-time-based condition having an action to be performed whenever the non-time-based condition is satisfied, (b) obtaining market information for the investment, (c) determining whether any of the two or more non-time-based conditions are satisfied based on the market information, (d) repeating steps (b) through (e) whenever none of the two or more non-time-based conditions are satisfied, and (e) performing the action associated with each non-time-based condition that is satisfied whenever any of the non-time-based conditions are satisfied.
Abstract: The present invention provides a system, apparatus and method for performing a buy/sell side trailing stop transaction by: (a) receiving a transaction request for an investment containing a target price, a stop price and a trail amount for an investment, (b) obtaining an ask/bid/last price for the investment, (c) determining whether the ask/bid/last price is less/greater than or equal to the target price, (d) whenever the ask/bid/last price is less/greater than or equal to the target price, setting the stop price equal to the ask/bid/last price plus/minus the trail amount and repeating steps (b)-(e), and (e) whenever the ask/bid/last price is greater/less than the target price, determining whether the ask/bid/last price is greater/less than or equal to the stop price, repeating steps (b)-(e) whenever the ask/bid/last price is less/greater than the stop price, submitting a buy/sell order whenever the ask/bid/last price is greater/less than or equal to the stop price.
Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method of determining and displaying trading trends for an investment underlying one or more options wherein an opening value and a closing value for the underlying investment for two or more time intervals is obtained. An opening value trend using a market trend indicator and the opening values for the investment is calculated, and a closing value trend using the market trend indicator and the closing values for the underlying investment is calculated. A visual indicator comparing the opening value trend to the closing value trend for the underlying investment is then displayed. This method may be incorporated into a computer program embodied in a computer readable medium using code segments to accomplish the method described above.
Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method of determining and displaying trading trends for one or more currency pairs wherein an opening value and a closing value for the one or more currency pairs for two or more time intervals is obtained. An opening value trend using a market trend indicator and the opening values for the investment is calculated, and a closing value trend using the market trend indicator and the closing values for the one or more currency pairs is calculated. A visual indicator comparing the opening value trend to the closing value trend for the one or more currency pairs is then displayed.
