AI summary

A system for exchange traded fund promotion and trade stores a cached webpage on a client device, the cached webpage being retrieved by an application running on the client device based on a URL. The system determines that the URL is listed in an active page list and generates code for an action button based on a stock symbol listed on the cached webpage. The system inserts the code into the cached webpage at a position defined by the active page list and corresponding to the stock symbol. The action button triggers an assistant running on the client device to redirect the application to a transaction webpage of a brokerage for a security identified by the stock symbol, to automatically log into an account of an advisor with the brokerage, and to navigate to the transaction webpage corresponding to the security.
