Abstract: Discloses is the use of a stop-loss and trailing stop-loss triggers utilizing a dynamic price-adjusting feature. Existing systems known in the art only allow one static stop-loss value to be used resulting in complete liquidation of the investment once the value is breached. The system of the present invention involves the use of two or more different protection levels per security, some of which may adjust based on the current share price of an investment and some which remain static, associates a liquidation percentage with each protection level and a dynamic adjusting module which allows a target growth rate to be set for at the security, class, category, account and client level that can then be used to dynamically adjust the settings of the protection levels and their associated liquidation percentages in real-time.

Abstract: The present invention discloses the use of an improved stop-loss and trailing stop-loss order system. Existing systems only allow one stop-loss or trailing stop-loss value to be used resulting in the complete liquidation of the investment once the value is breached. The improved system of the present invention involves the use of two or more different protection levels per security, some of which may adjust based on the current share price of an investment and some which remain static. Thus, the stop-loss and trailing stop-loss system of the present invention allows for an investment to be liquidated over time in an incremental fashion as opposed to complete liquidation of an investment at one time. The improved stop-loss and trailing stop-loss order system is completely adjustable based on the risk tolerance of the client and is based on an amount instead of a percentage. In a preferred embodiment is used in conjunction with an electronic portfolio management system.

Abstract: It is common in the art to utilize various fundamental or technical indicators in deciding when to purchase a security and this is typically a manual process. The present invention automates this process. The present invention defines a target portfolio for a client that details the securities and respective percentages that should be invested in each security. The system of the present invention continually compares the target portfolio to the client's actual portfolio to determine when there is excess cash available to invest. When there is excess cash available, the system generates a list of securities and amounts for that account each day that should be purchased based on the differences between the actual and target portfolios. The price movements of each security on a buy list are then continuously monitored, the various fundamental or technical indicators tracked, and the user alerted when the fundamental or technical indicators signal a buy for that specific security.

Abstract: The Portfolio Management System of the present invention is a sophisticated means of automating the management of client's investment portfolios. The Portfolio Management System of present invention creates a system that sets a plurality of floor levels with variable liquidation percentages. Additionally, a plurality of dynamic proportional stop loss settings that may have variable liquidation percentages may be incorporated. The combination of these creates a preferred embodiment of the present invention that is effective at protecting an investor's principle and allowing it to grow. The Portfolio Management System of the present invention may be comprised of several distinct modules in a variety of configurations. The overall system provides for the use of financial planning and time value of money calculations to determine the growth rate needed for a client. The client can then decide that they want a higher or lower rate.
