VOLUME LIMITATION METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR A REAL-TIME COMPUTERIZED STOCK TRADING SYSTEM

摘要

A system controls the volume of trading for an individual investor for a given stock and protect against market domination in real-time computerized stock trading systems. These stock trading systems may provide trading environments that do not have sufficient liquidity and may thus be susceptible to market domination due to large trade orders placed typically by large institutions or users with great resources. The system determines a volume limit and rejects or flags new trade orders that make a user's total trading volume for a certain stock exceed the determined volume limit.
