Live alerts
Systems and methods for monitoring the trading of financial instruments are provided. Trading messages are received at a live alert server. The messages are analyzed with a set of predetermined limits and rules. When a predetermined limit or rule is violated, an email message is sent to a regulator or other trading entity. The email message may include a hyperlink that may be selected to generate a real-time report relating to the limit or rule. When hyperlink is selected, a query is sent to a query server where the real-time report is generated and transmitted back to the requesting party.
1. A computer implemented method of monitoring trading of financial instruments, the method comprising:
(a) when a predetermined threshold is exceeded, generating a message that includes a link for generating a real time quantity report relating to an aggregated trading record and at least one rule;
(b) determining by a server that the link has been selected; and
(c) after determining that the link has been selected and in response to determining that the link has been selected, generating a real time quantity report relating to the aggregated trading record and the at least one rule by simulating processing of orders stored in a non-indexed collection of orders.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined threshold comprises a position quantity.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined threshold comprises a risk level quantity.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined threshold comprises an order type quantity.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the message comprises an email message that includes a hyperlink for generating the real time quantity report.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further including: (d) receiving a real time quantity report.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the real time quantity report comprises profit and loss data.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the real time quantity report comprises risk data.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the message comprises a short message text message.
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the message comprises an electronic mail message.
11. A tangible computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions for causing a computer device to perform steps comprising:
(a) when a predetermined threshold is exceeded, generating a message that includes a link for generating a real time quantity report relating to an aggregated trading record and at least one rule;
(b) determining that the link has been selected; and
(c) after determining that the link has been selected and in response to determining that the link has been selected, generating a real time quantity report relating to the aggregated trading record and the at least one rule by simulating processing of orders stored in a non-indexed collection of orders.
12. The tangible computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined threshold comprises a position quantity.
13. The tangible computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined threshold comprises a risk level quantity.
14. The tangible computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined threshold comprises an order type quantity.
15. The tangible computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the real time quantity report is displayed on a web page and periodically updated.
16. The tangible computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the message comprises a short message text message.
17. The tangible computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the message comprises an electronic mail message.
18. A computer implemented method comprising:
(a) generating a message that includes a link for generating a real time quantity report relating to an aggregated trading record and at least one rule;
(b) determining by a server that the link has been selected; and
(c) in response to determining that the link has been selected, generating a real time report relating to the aggregated trading record and the at least one rule by simulating processing of orders stored in a non-indexed collection of orders.
19. The computer-implemented method of claim 18 , wherein the message comprises a short message text message.
20. The computer-implemented method of claim 18 , wherein the message comprises an electronic mail message.
