Apparatus, method and system for a versatile financial mechanism and transaction generator and interface

Abstract

Versatile Financial Mechanisms and Transactions Generators and Interfaces (VFMTGI) involve the creation of effective apparatuses, methods, and systems for solutions to create and/or leg complex versatile financial mechanisms. The VFMTGI facilitates user removal of significant transactional risk exposure as the methods, systems and apparatuses facilitate user data entry into spreads that represent alternative futures. Aspects of an implementation of the VFMTGI facilitate investor execution and completion of multiple financial transactions, simultaneously, as a single transaction. The methods, systems and apparatuses facilitates simplification of complex transactions. An implementation of the VFMTGI involves changing risk exposure and/or otherwise hedging a user's underlying position, enabling a user to make a selection to buy or sell an interrelated multi-leg financial transaction from the user's underlying position, which enables identification of subcomponent financial instruments for generating a new position for the user's underlying position.
