摘要:
The present invention generally relates to a computerized system and method for creating, optimizing, and using a rules processing system that evaluates multiple rules against facts and events and detects, identifies, reacts to, and reports on events of interest. Events of interest may pertain to any subject matter, and in an embodiment, relate to securities (e.g., stocks, bonds, etc.) transactions. The system and method of the present invention also identifies patterns in large data sets using dynamically changing rules, and as a result, makes the processing and use of rules more efficient.

In one aspect, the invention comprises a computer system comprising means for displaying on a computer screen a chart illustrating level and volatility of a projected accounting performance based on a plurality of possible future interest rates, wherein the chart comprises a 50th percentile line, a 95th percentile line, and a 5th percentile line, and wherein the 50th percentile line, 95th percentile line, and 5th percentile line represent probability distribution over time of the projected accounting performance. In various embodiments: (1) for each of the one or more vertical bars, the uppermost dot represents a 95% best case for projected accounting performance and the lowermost dot represents a 95% worst case for projected accounting performance; and (2) the projected accounting performance comprises one or more of: net interest margin, interest expense, interest income, and present value.

An exemplary aspect comprises receiving data related to an underlying asset; calculating values corresponding to near-term implied volatility and realized volatility for the underlying asset; and transmitting data sufficient to describe an index based on a difference between the values corresponding to the near-term implied volatility and the realized volatility for the underlying asset. Another exemplary aspect comprises receiving electronic data related to an underlying asset; calculating data sufficient to describe a plurality of call options and a plurality of put options related to the underlying asset and written on a first settlement date; crediting an account with proceeds from selling the call and put options; and debiting the account to settle one or more of the options that are in-the-money on a second settlement date. Other aspects are apparent from the description and claims.

In one aspect, an embodiment comprises a computer system comprising: (a) a computer readable memory that stores price information for a plurality of bonds; and (b) a processor unit that calculates a liquidity cost score for one or more of said plurality of bonds; wherein said liquidity cost score calculation is based on data regarding quoted bid price and quoted ask price if a bond is a quoted bond, wherein said liquidity cost score calculation is based on a regression analysis if a bond is a non-quoted bond, and wherein said processor unit comprises one or more processors.
摘要:
A fault tolerant wireless system and method is disclosed that provides redundancy against a data center failure. Wireless connections are routed to a switch at a primary data center and forwarded through a gateway router, also located at the primary data center, to the internet. A backup switch and backup gateway router provides redundancy and are located at a backup data center geographically separate from the primary data center. The backup switch and backup gateway router provides an alternate path to the internet if the primary path fails. Both the primary switch and backup switch are assigned to the same subnet but the backup switch is advertised with an offset to favor routes through the primary switch.

In one aspect, the invention comprises: (a) calculating an average bid-ask spread of securities; (b) calculating values associated with one or more markets; (c) receiving and storing data regarding an order size for the securities; (d) receiving and storing data regarding an average daily volume of the securities traded on a specified market; (d) calculating data regarding expected historical volatility over a trading interval of the securities; (e) calculating data regarding an average rate of trading over the trading interval of the securities; and (f) calculating an estimated cost of trading the securities using data comprising a formula based on the average bid-ask spread, the values associated with one or more markets, the data regarding order size, the data regarding average daily volume, the data regarding expected historical volatility, and the data regarding an average rate of trading over the trading interval.
摘要:
In one aspect, the invention comprises a computer-implemented method for predicting interest rates, comprising the steps of: electronically receiving data describing one or more Fed fund futures rates; electronically adjusting the data describing the one or more Fed fund futures rates to obtain adjusted data regarding the one or more Fed fund futures rates; and electronically determining data regarding one or more expected Fed fund target rates. In another aspect, the invention comprises a system for predicting interest rates, comprising: one or more processors operable to determine probability distribution data for one or more Eurodollar rates based on Eurodollar futures option data; one or more processors operable to link said probability distribution data for one or more Eurodollar rates to overnight forward Fed funds rate data; and one or more processors operable to link said forward Fed funds rate data to expected Fed funds rate data.
