The user may also view a display showing information about selected securities, monitor trade activity, participate in a trade, and report trades. In addition, a user may display information for a selected set of securities on a continuously updated basis and can easily select from a displayed list, a desired security and certain information and functions associated with the selected security.
Description
- The present invention relates generally to online processing of transactions in a multi-user environment. More particularly the present invention relates to a transaction processing system for a securities market.
- In a securities market, traders buy and sell securities using offers and bids. Although the term “security” usually means a share in a corporation, the term may have a broader meaning which is proper for a full understanding of this invention. The chief characteristic of a security for purposes of this invention is that it may be traded over a common system or exchange.
- Sellers advertise “offers” or prices at which they will sell their securities, and buyers transmit “bids” or prices at which they will buy securities. Of course, sellers attempt to sell at the highest price while buyers attempt to buy at the lowest price. The “inside quote,” which is the highest offer or the lowest bid, represents the best price for sellers and buyers.
- To compete effectively, traders require certain information to determine when they have the most advantageous situation to sell or buy. That information includes what other traders are offering or bidding.
- Traditionally, traders exchanged their orders on a stock floor such as the New York or American Stock Exchanges. The National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD), however, created an on-line transaction processing system for trading securities. This system allows traders to make quotes and find inside quotes quickly and easily. To use this system, NASD supplies its users with workstations having screen displays, some of which may be customized and some of which are fixed. This system provided capabilities and services that traditional systems did not.
- An object of this invention is to advance the current system and provide additional information to traders about securities and the securities market that responds quickly to the fast-paced securities market, flexible.
- Another object of this invention is a system to allow traders to make and report trades simply and easily.
- Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by means of the elements and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
- To achieve the objects and in accordance with the purpose of the invention embodied and broadly described herein, the present invention includes a method of customizing the displays according to this invention that operates in a data processing system providing a user an interface with a securities exchange system over which securities are traded. A system display database contains information to be shown in system displays that show information about the securities exchange system. The method comprises the steps, implemented by the data processing system. of: receiving from a user a first input requesting a maintenance display indicating which system display show's information about a desired security, displaying, in response to the first input, the maintenance display; receiving a second input from the user indicating a change in the system display that shows the information about the desired security; and updating the system display database to reflect the changes indicated by the second input.
- Another method according to this invention of providing information on a desired security uses a data processing system providing a user interface with a securities exchange system for trading securities. The users trade securities that have an associated set of information. The method comprises the steps, implemented by the data processing system, of: receiving, from a user a first input requesting a display for the desired security, the display containing a predetermined subset of information selected from the set of information associated with the desired security: displaying the display containing a predetermined subset of information for the desired security; receiving a second input from the user specifying a trade of the desired security; executing the trade; and reporting the trade to the securities exchange system.
- Yet another method of providing information on selected securities according to this invention also operates in a data processing system providing an interface with a securities exchange system for trading securities in which users trade securities according to offers and bids. The method comprises the steps, implemented by the data processing system, of: receiving from a user a first input requesting a ticker display containing information associated with a selected set of securities; displaying the ticker display; scrolling the selected information across the ticker display in a predetermined scroll direction; receiving from a user a second input changing the information associated with the selected set of securities; and scrolling the changed selected information.
- A further method of providing information to a user on selected securities according to this invention operates also in a data processing system that provides a user interface with a securities exchange system for trading securities. The method comprises the steps, implemented by the data processing system, of: creating a first window containing a plurality of icons each associated with a different security; displaying the first window; receiving from the user a second input selecting one of the plurality of icons; and displaying, in response to the second input, a second window containing information and functions associated with the security associated with the selected icon.
- Both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are only exemplary and explanatory and do not restrict the invention as claimed.
- The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.

- A. Introduction
- The preferred embodiment of the invention is a NASDAQ Workstation II (NWII). NWII provides users with information necessary for monitoring and trading securities over a securities exchange system. NWII provides users who are traders with the information they need to make quick decisions so they can respond to market conditions quickly and maximize profits. NWII also allows traders to tailor information to suit their individual needs.
- To obtain a complete understanding of the operation of the preferred embodiments, certain terms must be understood. Investors buy a “security” with the expectation of receiving a share of the profits made by a corporation. Security trading begins when a party having a security or acting for an onwer of a security sets an “offer” price and a potential purchaser sets a “bid” price. A “quote” may be an “offer” price, a “bid” price, or a combination of both an “offer” and “bid” price.
- When a seller and a buyer agree to a particular price for a security, they complete a “trade.” Trades are initiated and completed by individuals, firms, dealers, who may be either individuals or firms, and brokers.
- The competing interests between sellers and buyers create the market and define its operation. As discussed above, the situation representing the best price for sellers and buyers is called the “inside quote.” The inside quote consists of the highest offer and the lowest bid.
- B. System Overview
- FIG. 1 shows a diagram of an
automated securities system 100 capable of implementing the present invention.System 100 includes acentral computer 110 andseveral work stations Central computer 110 and work stations 120-128 can be any equipment capable of performing the functions described below. - Each work station120-128 preferably includes a
display 130, a keyboard/input device 135, aprinter 140, and a processing unit/memory 150. Processing unit/memory 150 generates various windows shown ondisplay 130, prints out information onprinter 140, receives user inputs from keyboard/input device 135, and communicates withcentral computer 110. Processing unit/memory 150 also performs various local logical and arithmetic operations as required. Bothcentral computer 110 and workstations 120-128 contain portions of the software which make up the NWII software system. - In general, workstations120-128 contain those portions of the NWII software that interact directly with NWII users, including data presentation and display, data transfer with
central computer 110, and storage in system display databases of user-defined information. That information includes transaction information that contains identifying parameters for trading securities over the securities exchange system. -
Central computer 110 contains those portions of the NWII software that interact with workstations 120-128, manipulatedatabase information 129 about securities and users, and communicate with other data processing systems (not shown). Also, although the description of the preferred embodiment is given with reference to window-based user interface, many different types of display interface may be used to implement this invention. - To participate in the automated securities trading of this invention, an NWII user must log onto the system. Each NWII user has a corresponding ID and password. A user's ID is associated with a firm to which a particular workstation is registered.
- The NWII software residing on workstations120-128 initially presents a
Logon window 2000 as shown in FIG. 2. The user enters an ID intext box 2010 and password intext box 2020, and either selectsLogon button 2030 to execute a logon process.Help button 2050 for help, orExit button 2040 to exit. -
Logon window 2000 also includesSDP text area 2060 andOrgId text area 2070. The user's system places the user's service delivery platform name inSDP text area 2060 and the user's organization identification inOrald text area 2070 automatically whenLogon window 2000 is opened. -
Logon window 2000 also includesScreen Setup box 2080. If the user selectsScreen Setup box 2080, the NWII software opens an initial display as configured when the user last exited the NWII software. - Once the NWII software determines that the user is authorized, the NWII software presents
Main window 3000, includingmenu bar 3010 shown in FIG. 3.Menu bar 3010 includes several pull-down menus such asmenu 3020. The NWII software presentsmenu 3020 when the user selectsSetup option 3011. - Pull-
down menu 3020 includes user-selectable setup functions such asTicker setup function 3031,Market Mind function 3032, DynamicQuote setup function 3033, Dynamic QuotePlus setup function 3034, QuickQuote setup function 3035,Trade Manager function 3036,Symbol Maintenance function 3037,QuickPik setup function 3038, andPrint Manager function 3039. Each setup function 3031-3039 causes the NWII software to display a setup window for the corresponding setup functions, and within each setup window, the user may open a corresponding display window. For example, the user may select DynamicQuote setup function 3033 from pull-down menu 3020 causing the NWII software to present a display for setting up a Dynamic Quote window. The user may then open a Dynamic Quote window after the NWII software presents the setup window. - The user may instead select Full Screen Setups function3040 from pull-
down menu 3020. If the user selects Full Screen Setups function 3050, the NWII software allows the user to select either a screen display containing windows preselected by NWII system managers or the user's most recently configured screen display. The setup of Logon IDs andExit functions - The NWII software also displays a
System status window 3100, shown in FIG. 3, whenever the user is not displaying windows lacking areas for displaying system messages.System status window 3100 includesmessage area 3110,scroll bar 3120,system text area 3130,status indicator area 3140, operatingversion area 3150,news indicator area 3160,server name area 3170,date area 3180, andtime area 3190. - The NWII software places system messages in
message area 3110. If all of the system messages cannot fit intomessage area 3110, then the user may usescroll bar 3120 to scroll up or down through the messages displayed inmessage area 3110. The NWII software displays the system name insystem text area 3130. -
Status indicator area 3140 allows the NWII software to display the current status of the system. A solid up arrow, illustrated instatus indicator area 3140 of FIG. 3, indicates that the system is up. A solid down arrow indicates that the system is down. Of course, one skilled in the art would recognize that specific ways of indicating system status would be a matter of design choice. - Operating
version area 3150 allows the NWII software to indicate what version of NWII the system is running. FIG. 3 shows “P” which corresponds to a production version. The NWII software displays an “N” innews indicator area 3160 any time the system administrators transmit a news message. Inserver name area 3190, the NWII software displays “Current Server:” and the name of the user's current server. The NWII software displays the current date in date area 3200 and the current time in time area 3210. - The following description discusses certain of the windows corresponding to setup functions3031-3039. Each description of a window begins with a description of the window, and closes with a description of a how to set up that window.
- C. Dynamic Quote
- The Dynamic Quote window will be the main focal point of activity, for most users. Although users constantly scan the entire market, they will likely wish to concentrate on a single security. The Dynamic Quote window provides users with instant access to user-defined primary activities for a chosen security and to key pieces of information for that security. The Dynamic Quote window also allows users to monitor individual Market Maker quotations and other security data in real time. A Market Maker is an individual or corporation allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to register individual securities for trading and makes a market in the issue.
- FIG. 4 shows a
Dynamic Quote window 4000. As discussed above with regard to FIG. 3,Dynamic Quote window 4000 may be accessed from DynamicQuote setup function 3033, or Full Screen Setups function 3040, or viaScreen Setup box 2080 if so configured. - To access the features of
Dynamic Quote window 4000, the user types a name of a security intext box 4010. In response, the NWII software fills in various information fields ofDynamic Quote window 4000. InLast text area 4020, the NWII software fills in the last sale information for the identified security. InHiLo text area 4022, the NWII software fills in the high and low offers and bids for the identified security. InIns text area 4024, the NWII software indicates the inside quote for the security. InVol text area 4025, the NWII software fills in the volume of the market of the identified security. InPCL text area 4026, the NWII software fills in the previous day's closing price for the selected security. - In
status area 4028, the NWII software uses a flag icon to indicate the market currently being viewed. If the domestic market is closed, the NWII software will display information for a foreign market that is open as determined by the NWII software. If the user wishes to switch between the domestic market and a foreign market, he selects market switching function (not shown). -
Box 4030 contains information for foreign markets.Text area 4032 shows the previous day's closing price for the selected security, andtext area 4036 shows the most recent inside quote information for the selected security. If the domestic market is closed and a foreign market is being displayed,box 4030 contains the previous day's closing price and most recent inside quote for the domestic market. - A user may change its offer and bid for the indicated securities by a designated Tick Size using buttons in
Quick Update box 4040. TickSize text box 4042 displays a default Tick Size for the selected security. The user changes the offer and bid by this tick value by selecting Upbutton 4045 orDn button 4047. - The buttons and field in
box 4050 allow the user to report trades or enter an order for a trade. A default condition of either reporting trades or entering orders is determined using a Dynamic Quote setup window as described below. - To report a trade, the user selects
button 4055, enters appropriate information intotext box 4056, and selectsSend button 4057. The user may report a trade as either a Market Maker or an Order Entry Firm, depending on the user's designation. An Order Entry Firm is an individual or corporation allowed by the SEC to register securities for trading but is not making a market in an issue that they have an order. - After selecting
button 4055, a mark incircle 4051 identifies the user as a Market Maker and a mark incircle 4053 identifies the user as an Order Entry Firm. A user can determine the defaults for the status andcircles Clear button 4058 deletes all information intext box 4056 and resetcircles - To enter an order, the user selects
button 4059, enters appropriate information intotext box 4056, and selectsSend button 4057. To enter an order, the user may enter the order via SelectNet or any other type of order entry execution service. Both SelectNet and the other tripes of order entry execution services are automatic order execution services available to users. SelectNet allows users to enter an order as an agent or a principle for any number of shares and the other types of order entry services usually limit the number of shares which can be ordered. If a user selectsbutton 4059, the NWII software will identify the other service bybutton 4051 and SelectNet bybutton 4053. Users determine the defaults forbutton Clear button 4058 functions as described above. - As discussed above,
buttons buttons buttons -
Box 4060 shows information for both offers and bids, or either offers only or bids only in thetext boxes text box 4062 and a ranked list of offers intext box 4064. Bids and offers are ranked by price and then by time. For example, the first bid or offer at the best price is listed first. - If all of the information cannot be displayed simultaneously, users may scroll
text boxes scroll bars boxes - Eight programmable buttons,4080 through 4087, allow users to customize functions using the Dynamic Quote Setup window described below. To select a customized function, the user need only select the button corresponding to that function.
- To set up a Dynamic Quote window such as
window 4000, a user selects Dynamic Quote setup function 3031 (FIG. 3) from pull-down menu 3020. In response, the NWII software displays DynamicQuote Setup window 5000, shown in FIG. 5. The user selects a particular Dynamic Quote window by highlighting one of the windows listed inWindow list box 5010. If all of the Dynamic Quote Windows cannot be displayed at once, the user may scroll through the listed windows inWindow list box 5010 usingscroll bar 5011. Alternatively, the user may type the name of the window inWindow text box 5015. - To delete the selected window, the user merely selects
Delete button 5020. This removes the window from the entire system. - The user adds a new window by typing a name for the new window in
text box 5015 and then pressing either the Add Beforebutton 5021 or Add Afterbutton 5022. Add Beforebutton 5021 adds the new window above the highlighted window name inWindow list box 5010, and Add Afterbutton 5022 adds the window below the highlighted window name inWindow list box 5010. - The user may also select a “hot key” which will cause the NWII software to immediately display the corresponding Dynamic Quote window from any other window. The user chooses a “hot key” from a drop down list displayed after the user selects combination box5030.
- The user may set certain information to be used as default information for the
Dynamic Quote window 4000 usingbox 5040. The user selectsbuttons Dynamic Quote window 4000 eliminates the need for the user to exitDynamic Quote window 4000 to enter orders and report trades. - Selecting
QuickOrder button 5042 causes the NWII software to selectQuickOrder button 4059 as a default whenDynamnic Quote window 4000 is opened. To place an order, a user enters information such as the buy or sell quantity, the security 's symbol, and an identification of the firm or agency making the order. - Selecting
QuickReport button 5043 causes the NWII software to selectQuickReport button 4055 as a default when openingDynamic Quote window 4000. To report a trade, a user enters information such as the buy or sell quantity, the security's symbol, and the identification for the firm or agency making the order. - Using
buttons - To place an order using SelectNet, the user inputs information into
text box 4056. That information may include user identification, whether the order is for a buy or a sell, and the price. - To place an order using the small order execution service, the user places similar information into
text box 4056. One difference is that the price is limited to the market price. The order is then automatically executed without negotiation. Of course, other types of order execution services may be provided by NASD. - The user selects
button 5046 to set the default type to Marker Maker, and selectsbutton 5047 to set the default type to an Order Entry Firm. To insure that the values become defaults, the user must selectSave button 5050. Otherwise the system uses the default values of Quick Order, SelectNet, and Market Maker. The user may also selectOpen button 5052 which causes the software to save the values as defaults and then open aDynamic Quote window 4000. -
Box 5070 lets the user set up the default display fortext boxes Combine button 5071. To display information about bids only, the user selects Bid Onlybutton 5072. To display information about offers only, the user selects Offer Onlybutton 5073. - In
box 5080, the user sets up theprogrammable function buttons 4080 through 4087. Boxes 5081-5088 correspond respectively to buttons 4080-4087. For example, a user usescombination box 5086 to select the programmable function ofbutton 4085 from a list of available functions. When the user selectscombination box 5086, the software displays a list of functions which may be assigned tobutton 4085. From this list, the user selects the function to be assigned tobutton 4085. - At any time, but at least when all the desired changes have been made, the user selects
Save button 5050 to cause the NWII software to save the changes. After the user has completed all chances and wishes to exit the Dynamic Quote setup function, the user pressesEnd Setup button 5054 to cause the NWII software to close the Dynamic Quote setup window. - Several other buttons in Dynamic
Quote Setup window 5000 provide additional capabilities for the user. For example, when the user selectsOpen button 5052, the NWII software opens the selected window. When the user selectsDemo button 5056, the NWII software opens a demonstration window to show the user an example of a Dynamic Quote window for those users unfamiliar with NWII operation. When the user selectsColor button 5058, the NWII software allows the user a select various colors for the selected Dynamic Quote window. - D. Dynamic Quote Plus
- The Dynamic
Quote Plus window 6000 shown in FIG. 6 is similar to theDynamic Quote window 4000, but also allows the user to view and perform activities to manage trades in a particular security. - Dynamic
Quote Plus window 6000 may be accessed from pull-down menu 3020 using Dynamic QuotePlus setup function 3034 or Full Screen Setups function 3040, or via Screen Setup,box 2080 if so configured. For brevity, the fields of DynamicQuote Plus window 6000 that operate the same as corresponding features ofDynamic Quote window 4000 will not be explained again. Intext box 6010, the NWII software will display all messages related to the security identified inbox 6005. If all of the messages associated with a particular security cannot be displayed simultaneously, the user may scroll throughout the entire list using thescroll button 6015. - The user selects
buttons 6020 through 6090 to manage a particular security.AON button 6020 allows the user to accept an order “All or Nothing.” This is done when a user only wants to accept an order only in its entirety. If the user selectsAON button 6020, the NWII software will accept the order only if no other users have accepted portions of the order. - Any
button 6030 allows the user to accept any portion of an order regardless of whether other users have accepted portions of the order.ExecSS button 6040 allows the user to execute a short sell. A user executes a short sell when he sells securities he does not currently own but will buy at a later date. Obviously, in those instances the user hopes the later price is lower then the price at which he has just sold. - When the user selects
Partial button 6050, the software displays a negotiation window so that the user may accept a portion of an order. When the user selectsCounter button 6060, the software displays a negotiation window so that the user may counter an order. - Selecting
Decline button 6070 allows the user to decline a preferential order. A preferential order is an order directed to a Market Maker in a particular issue.
