Abstract: Methods and systems for implementing a forward conversion strategy are provided. In one embodiment, the invention may provide a computer-implemented method for implementing a forward conversion strategy. The method may include receiving securities orders for at least one security. The received securities orders may include a long stock order, a long put order, and a short call order. The received securities orders may be automatically transferred from a first entity to a second entity or from the first entity to one or more intermediate entities and then to the second entity for execution of the securities orders. Portions of the securities orders may be verified. Upon execution of the securities orders, the securities orders may be automatically updated with execution completion information. The execution completion information may be automatically displaying on a computer system, upon execution of the securities orders.

Abstract: Methods and systems for reconciling a forward conversion strategy are provided. A forward conversion strategy may include a long stock order, a long put order, and a short call order, for at least one security. The method may include automatic calculation of the following items/values for each forward conversion strategy in an account: a cost basis, multiple present values, and multiple unrealized gain/loss values. The method may include automatic display of the values described above on a first computer system. The present value may be determined on a periodic basis (e.g., daily, at user configurable times, and/or in real-time). A forward conversion strategy that is missing at least one of its parts may be automatically restored by automatically acquiring of the at least one missing securities position (e.g., buying the stock long, buying the long put, or selling the short call).

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing a portfolio of securities are provided. In one embodiment, the portfolio of securities may include at least one entry transaction for at least one security. Each entry transaction may include an entry price. The method may include receiving an exit order for a portion of the portfolio. The exit order may include an exit price. The method may include determining a difference between the exit price and the entry price for each security in the portfolio. In addition, the method may include selecting a security to be included in the portion. The selected security may have a determined difference less than or equal to a determined difference of each other share of the security in the portfolio. The method may also include sorting the portfolio of securities according to entry price. The shares of the security in the portfolio may be exited according to sort order.
