Methods, apparatuses and article of manufactures for receiving a plurality of bids and offers for a binary options transaction. Each bid and offer comprises a quantity and a price. At least one rule is applied to the plurality of received bids and offers. At least one of the plurality of bids and offers is determined to be potentially manipulative. An alert that the at least one bid or offer is potentially manipulative is transmitted.

Systems and methods of detecting manipulations on a binary options exchange

Methods, apparatuses, and article of manufactures for receiving a plurality of bids and offers for a binary options instrument. Each bid and offer comprises a quantity and a price. A subset of bids and offers from the plurality of received bids and offers is generated. At least one rule is applied to the subset of bids and offers to generate a reduced subset of bids and offers. A binary options index is computed from the reduced subset of bids and offers. A request for a binary options transaction that is based on the computer binary options index is received.

Methods, apparatus and article of manufactures for providing seamless transitions between graphical images on a binary options interface. An user-input is received on a touch-sensitive display of the binary options interface. The user-input corresponds to a request for a transformation of a graphical image that is displayed on the binary options interface. The binary options interface is integrated into a mobile device. In response to the user-input, an updated graphical image is generated. The updated graphical image is displayed to replace the graphical image on the binary options interface. The graphical image to the updated graphical image comprises a continuously displayed image.

The present invention provides investment advice systems. One version of the present invention provides investment advice systems that allow a user to select one or more advisors from a list of investment advisors. According to this version of the invention, the end user can receive advice on a particular transaction either separately from each investment advisor or in consensus. The system offers advice in part on the user's portfolio, tax position and risk profile and in part on the advisors evaluation of current market conditions. Thus, when a user is considering making a transaction, the user can obtain advice that can take into portfolio information including a user's proposed transaction and/or user portfolio information. A user armed with the above-described customized advice can execute a specific transaction and have their portfolio updated to reflect execution of that (those) order(s). In an alternative embodiment, a user's desire to buy or sell a security and/or a need for rebalancing a user's portfolio can generate transaction(s). As a result, the system will generate a buy/sell list (including recommended alternatives) from which a user can select.

Investment advice systems and methods

A hydraulic catworks system for use on a well drilling rig for making up and breaking out a drill string which includes a hydraulic makeup piston and cylinder assembly for actuating a makeup line connected to the makeup tongs, and a breakout piston and cylinder assembly connected to a breakout line for actuating the breakout tongs. A makeup hydraulic control valve controls hydraulic fluid to first and second lines connected to the makeup assembly with the first line connected for extending the makeup line and the second line connected for retracting the makeup line. A breakout hydraulic control valve controls fluid to third and fourth lines with the third line connected for extending the breakout line and the fourth line connected for retracting the breakout line. Manual air control means are provided for selectively actuating the makeup and breakout control valves. A variable pressure control is connected to the second line for controlling the makeup torque. Preferably, the makeup and breakout assemblies are vertically connected to the legs of the drilling rig and rollers are positioned horizontally with the makeup and breakout tongs and connected to the breakout and makeup lines. Preferably, a sheave is connected to the makeup assembly and the makeup line passes over the sheave with its free end fixedly secured. A re-generative system is provided on the makeup assembly for increasing the speed of the makeup line extension. Preferably the makeup and breakout cylinders are of the same cross-sectional area with the stroke of the breakout cylinder being less than the stroke of the makeup cylinder.
