Abstract
A computer-implemented method for managing collateral risk associated with financial instrument trading and a data processing system includes a processor and memory/database configured to store user-definable rulesets relating to a desired trade. A search module identifies and stores accounts that could accept potentially eligible security positions based upon user-selectable search criteria, and identifies potentially eligible security positions for consideration as collateral for the trade. A user configurable collateral analysis module determines eligibility of security positions as collateral for the trade by applying one or more user-definable rulesets in an algorithm that operates in a processor to determine collateral position eligibility of security positions for the trade by testing eligibility along one or more logical paths defined by user-definable rulesets. The processor outputs either a collateral eligibility or ineligibility indication via a user interface for various security positions based upon the collateral position eligibility analysis, including all reasons for ineligibility.
