This invention will greatly benefit investors that do not have the time to constantly trade stock yet want to take advantage of normal price fluctuations. The Limit Order Coupled LinK (LOCK) invention, for example, will take a buy order, complete the transaction at the specified price, then automatically resubmits a new order to sell at a specified higher price. If specified, the process can automatically cycle through the buy-sell process a set number of time allowing the investor to take advantage of intra-day market moves and normal stock price fluctuations with no personal investor evolvement. The LOCK order, with set profit margins, allows on-line traders and brokers to place one order, which will automatically generate logical, sequenced additional orders returning a profit on each transaction. LOCK will benefit both the investor and the stock trading company.,下面是Stock trading limit order coupled link (LOCK)专利的具体信息内容。

This invention applies to buying and selling stocks, options, commodities, bonds, and most forms of equities and securities. This invention has useful application for the individual investor, the securities broker and others who trade securities.
One of the strategies for buying and selling stock is to buy stock at one price forming a ‘long’ position then selling the stock at another price, closing out that position. Other strategies include forming a ‘short’ position by borrowing stocks then closing out the position by buying back the securities at another price.
On-line securities trading allow the common investor the ability to buy and sell stocks and securities over the Internet at minimal transaction costs. Numerous electronic trading companies have been established and tens of thousands of individual traders have made tens of millions of securities transactions every week. Many individual traders continue to dedicate hours to buying and selling securities in hopes of benefiting on minor stock price moves. Many must take time out of their regular busy day to watch the market and trade stock. This extra time required detracts from a person's regular job and also leads to less-than-optimal stock trading results.
The current Internet investment approach requires investors to access their accounts to submit a buy order, then re-access their accounts to receive a list of the daily transactions. If an investor submits a limit order, the stock price must reach the limit order price before the transaction takes place; often the order is not filled the same day. If the investor submits a market order, the transaction occurs quickly, but the investor must wait to find out the cost of the transaction that was determined by the market.
In either case, the investor must submit an order, wait for the transaction to occur then develop and submit a second order to close out the position in hopes of making a profit. This current state of the art process is time consuming and may require investors to check their accounts several times a day. The result is loss of time or interference with the investors' regular job, and in a fast-moving market, investors may miss the opportunity to close out their position.
To take advantage of market volatility, investors must continually monitor the market. First they need to decide when to buy, then, once the buy transaction has occurred, they must immediately submit a second order, usually a limit order, to take a sell position and close out the position at a predetermined price.
Of course investors can still use traditional stockbrokers to execute a buy-sell or sell-buy strategy. However using a broker adds to higher transaction cost and the broker must also watch the stock and execute two sequenced orders.
My invention will replace the current methods and processes, allowing investors to lower transaction costs. With my invention, investors can place one order that will buy the security at a preset price and sell the security at a gain price, without requiring additional investor actions.
The Limit Order Coupled Link (LOCK) invention is designed to allow the online investor or stockbroker to enter one transaction order, which will execute an automatic sequenced transaction strategy for buying and selling a security for a predefined profit. This invention offers a number of advantages. It frees the on-line investor or stockbroker from the burden of monitoring a selected securities price movement. Instead, management software module in the electronic trading system will execute the buy-sell strategy. LOCK simplifies the current process in which investors must submit orders, one to establish an open position and a second to close out a position.
Current method: Two separate orders requiring a time delay to confirm 1st order was completed before submitting the 2nd order:
LOCK method: 1st order contains information for constructing the 2nd order. Therefore, execution of the first order automatically generates the second order. Investors only needs to submit one order:
The above LOCK order translates to “buy 100 shares of XYZ at $56 per share and once the transaction has occurred (open position), submit a sell order for 100 shares of XYZ at $57 per share.” Once the securities are sold the position is closed and the investor walks away with approximately $100.
LOCK offers big advantages, yet is very simple to implement, adding just one more data field. Currently, an electronic transition required at least five data fields: (1) buy or sell, (2) securities symbol, (3) quantity, (4) market price or limit price, and (5) the time the order is good for day-order or good-till-cancel. LOCK adds one more data field. This is the LOCK field that automatically locks a transaction in place at a price the investor determined. An example would be (1) buy (2) stock XYZ, (3) 100 shares, (4) at market price for a share, (5) good-till-cancel, (6) LOCK 1. This would be translated by the computer network as a buy order for 100 XYZ at market per share and place the order to (1) sell (2) stock XYZ, (3) 100 shares, (4) at purchased price plus $1.00 a share, (5) good-till-cancel. This will allow investors to place their orders and not have to watch the market to complete their strategy. Investors are free to conduct other business and, if the 100 shares of XYZ stock they procured goes up $1.00, the sell order will be executed and he will profit $100.00 minus the transaction costs.
LOCK actually takes some of the risk out of stock trading provides better chances that the investor realizes a profit. Under the current system, investors mentally set a sell price, but then when the stock passes that price often the investor moves the sell price out as well. Then, when the stock price falls, the investor looses profit opportunity until or unless the stock price goes up again. With LOCK, the investor can set disciplined, predefined gains on securities. The investor decides at what price to buy stock and what price to sell it. LOCK automatically buys and sells at the investor's predetermined prices. As a result, the investor need not constantly monitor fluctuating stock prices and is guaranteed a profit should the stock rise to the predetermined sell price.
Another significant advantage of LOCK is that small and part-time investors can realize a profit from smaller stock gains typically produced from daily market volatility. This provides an alternative to “buy and hold” strategies.
The stock and equities trading Limit Order Coupled Link (LOCK) method and invention centers on additional buy/sell profit information contained in the investor's equities order. It also encompasses the software, designed to convert this order into two or more orders that can open and close out the investors position with preset profit goals.
The LOCK method and invention comprises (A) an investor who invests in a securities market with an objective to make a profit; (B) a host securities broker (such as E-Trade, Ameritrade, etc.) with a computer network, for handling their transaction. The host computer network includes a database server that provides an electronic security order template. With this template in place, the host computer network can store and organize security transaction request so that when an investor initiates a transaction, the network processes the request and sends it to a security exchange (such as New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, etc.); (C) individual computer workstations for each investor or broker. Each computer workstation would include a video monitor, a means for the investor of broker to send user commands to the host computer network, and a means for the investor or broker to receive and display (on the video monitor) security order templates and instructions transmitted from the host computer network; (D) a communications network electronically linking the investor's computer workstation to the host computer network; (E) a two-part securities exchange order (referred to as the LOCK order) that the investor initiates and that contains specific instructions for the host computer network to transact the security exchange. The LOCK order would include instructions and information for buying or selling a security, the name of the security, the quantity of that security, to buy the limit price or current market price at which to transact the security exchange and the increase or decrease in security price to initiate part-two of the transaction (referred to as the LOCK profit); (F) a software module that allows the investor at the computer workstation to interact with the host computer network. With this software the investor can select security exchange options and transmit them to the host computer network then receive confirmation that was underway. (G) an additional software module (referred to as the LOCK management module) as part of the securities broker host computer network. This software would link the host computer network to the security exchange markets and track and monitor the status of the investor's LOCK order. At the appropriate market price, the software would initiate a two-part, sequenced securities exchange order to buy a stock at the investor's specified price, then add the specified desired profit price and place a second order.
With LOCK the investor could enter as little as one extra data field when placing a stock order. This additional information would be the LOCK profit margin. By entering this number, the investor would tell the investment company or securities broker to execute a LOCK transaction (buy and sell linked limit order).
Currently the minimum information required for an electronic transition is buy or sell 2, securities symbol 5, quantity 6, market price or limit price 8, and the time the order is good for day order or good till canceled 4. A LOCK order adds one more data field. This field is the LOCK field of the change in security price such as 1¼ or 1.00 representing $1.25 or $1.00 change in stock price. An example would be: buy, 100 shares of stock XYZ, at market price for a share, “good to cancel”, LOCK 1. Good to cancel term referrers to the order as being placed until filled or canceled by the investor. This would be translated by the computer network as a buy order for 100 XYZ at market per share and then immediately place an order to sell 100 shares of XYZ stock at purchased price plus $1.00 a share, with an order that is “good to cancel”. This allows the investor to place an order and be free to conduct other business. If the 100 shares of XYZ stock the investor has procured goes up $1.00 LOCK would automatically execute the sell order ensuring a profit of $100 minus the transaction costs. LOCK allows investors to make predefined gains.
The LOCK method and invention centers on additional buy/sell profit information contained in the investor's equities order. It also encompasses the software that converts an investor's order into two or more orders that open and close out the investor's position with preset profit goals.
The stock symbol 5, and stock quantity 6, remains the same in part 1 and part 2. Alternate embodiment could change the quantity, such as selling half in part 2 then cycling through part 2 again selling the second half a an increased price. The price selection for part 1 involves either a market order 7, which executes the trade at the prevailing market rate or a Limit Order 8, which specifies a price. For the investor to execute a Limit Order normally he or she must check a box and enter the price at which to execute it or if market conditions permit, at a better price. The part 1 order executed price in combination with information in the LOCK box 9, and the LOCK price 10, will form the Limit Order execution price for the part 2 of the LOCK transaction.
The LOCK management module 12 will also provide the investor 17 with status when requested. For example, if the investor 17 wishes to check on the status of the LOCK order 19, he or she could electronically contact the electronic trading company 20 and receive an update on the LOCK order 19—for example, where the order was in the process, such as whether the first part of the LOCK 19 order was filled 37, second part of order submitted 40 and in whether it was the trading pit 41 waiting to be filled.
Alternative embodiments include inserting the option to automatically re-cycle through the process again and an additional option to increase or decrease the buy/sell prices.
Another option would be to increase the price increment for each cycle 45. Investors would use this process to take advantage of a stock price that is moving up. An example is specifying buy 100 XYZ at $50.00 with a LOCK price of $1, number of cycles of 3 and an increment of $0.50. This would translate to buy 100 shares of XYZ at $50.00, sell at $51.00, buy back at $51.50, sell at $52.50, buy back at $52.00, and sell at $53.00.
Another embodiment would be to locate the LOCK management module 12 on the investor's own computer.
The LOCK process could include an option allowing an investor to cancel a LOCK order anytime during the process. For example an investor could decide to hold on to a stock purchased in part 1 of the LOCK order then cancel the sell side (part 2) of the LOCK order. The stock symbol 5, and stock quantity 6, remains the same in part 1 and part 2. Alternate embodiment could change the quantity, such as selling half in part 2 then cycling through part 2 again, selling the second half at an increased price.
An alternative embodiment of the LOCK invention method is to use percents as the LOCK, rather than stock prices. For example an investor could enter a percent, such as 2%, rather than 1.5 points of stock price. Suppose the stock is trading for $40.00 a share. The investor could enter 1.5 meaning a move of $1.50 up would constitute a sell limit order or by using percents, the investor could enter 2%, meaning a move of $0.80 cents up would initiate a sell limit order.
Additional percent alternatives in defining the LOCK with respect to the trade price could be offered to the investor to discount the trade or commission costs. An example would be if a stock is selling for $100.00 a share and the investor wishes a 5% gain, and the cost of a limit order transaction is $10.00 then the trade in and out cost is $20.00 so the LOCK could be interpreted as trade at a 5% gain after charges and commission. The trade that completes the LOCK would be $107.00 a share based on 100 shares and a LOCK of 5% profit. Percentage LOCKs offer the investor a simpler conversion for setting investment goals.
The LOCK invention and methodology will allow investors to define specific investment strategies and execute these strategies with minimal involvement. This invention will further allow investors to take advantage of small and repetitive stock price movement that, over time could translate to significant profits. The LOCK management module can reside at an online investment company or on investors' computers. This invention will significantly increase the volume of trades for online investment companies. This strategy moves away from traditional by-and-hold strategies to one of attempting to mass small but consistent gains. LOCK is especially advantageous to the average investor who does not have much time to watch the market's constant motion.
