Abstract
A system and method for displaying a trend indication using a primary and secondary indicia. The primary indicium corresponds to an overall trend indication and the secondary indicia relate to the reliability of the overall trend indication. The secondary indicia correspond to a trend indication for each phase of the selected analysis strategy. The secondary indicia provide the user with a quick and easy methodology to ascertain the reliability of the overall trend indication based on the concurrence or disagreement of the secondary indicia with the primary indicium.
Claims19
A system for producing a trend indication to trade a security, the system comprising:
- a processor configured to analyze security market data according to an analysis strategy;
- a network connection in communication with the processor and configured to acquire market security data, the processor generating overall trend indication to trade a security based on analysis of the security market data, wherein the analysis strategy has a plurality of phases;
- a display in electrical communication with the processor, the processor being configured to render a primary signal indicium and at least one secondary signal indicium on the display, the primary signal indicium being displayed in a first portion of a display area wherein the primary signal indicium is indicative of the overall trend indication to trade the security based on at least one phase of the plurality of phases, the at least one secondary signal indicium being displayed in a second portion of the display area, each secondary signal indicium being based on a phase of the plurality of phases of the analysis strategy, the at least one secondary signal indicium is indicative of the reliability of the overall trend indication, wherein the primary signal indicium and the at least one secondary signal indicium form a contiguous display region
A method for displaying a trend indication to trade a security, the method comprising:
- acquiring security market data;
- analyzing the security market data according to an analysis strategy by a processor;
- generating an overall trend indication to trade a security based on analysis of the security market data, wherein the analysis strategy has a plurality of phases each of which is indicative of a trend indication;
- displaying a primary signal indicium in a first portion of a display area wherein the primary signal indicium is indicative of the overall trend indication to trade the security based on at least one phase of the plurality of phases;
- displaying at least one secondary signal indicium in a second portion of the display area, each secondary signal indicium being based on a phase of the plurality of phases of the analysis strategy, wherein each of the at least one secondary signal indicium is indicative of the reliability of the overall trend indication, the primary signal indicium and the at least one secondary signal indicium forming a contiguous display region.
A computer readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by a programmed processor for displaying a trend indication to trade a security, the computer readable medium comprising instructions for:
- acquiring security market data;
- analyzing the security market data according to an analysis strategy;
- generating an overall trend indication to trade a security based on analysis of the security market data, wherein the analysis strategy has a plurality of phases each of which is indicative of a trend indication;
- displaying a primary signal indicium in a first portion of a display area wherein the primary signal indicium is indicative of the overall trend indication to trade the security based on at least one phase of the plurality of phases;
- displaying at least one secondary signal indicium in a second portion of the display area, each secondary signal indicium being based on a phase of the plurality of phases of the analysis strategy, wherein each of the at least one secondary signal indicium is indicative of the reliability of the overall trend indication, the primary signal indicium and the at least one secondary signal indicium forming a contiguous display region.
