Abstract: This application discloses a system and method including a client device including a user interface. The client device receives a criteria from a user. A parser module receives and identifies individual elements of the criteria. A data retrieval module receives a first element of the criteria. A spread module receives spread criteria and a selected security and generates a candidate set of option instruction sequences. A database interface module communicates with the data retrieval module. The database interface module communicates with a database. Selected data is returned from the database in accordance with a second element of the criteria. The database interface module returns the selected data to the data retrieval module. An instruction module generates for execution a candidate set of instruction sequences from multiple instruction sequences for execution on the returned data in accordance with a third element of the criteria.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system and method embodiments for generating a strategy. An embodiment operates by receiving one or more inputs indicating criteria for a strategy, including a predicted direction for the stock, a predicted duration for the direction, a tolerable probability of success, and a tolerable percentage of monetary loss from an account. One or more instruments associated with the stock are retrieved from the database configured for mass storage of real-time quotes and trading data. A strategy list containing one or more strategies is generated from the one or more instruments, where the one or more strategies are compliant with the criteria.
