Solution Overview

Problem

Current search engines lack the capability to effectively identify trading tactics in stock markets due to background noise and the varied appearances of these tactics in market data, leading to difficulties in making informed trading decisions.

Innovation Solution

The Tactic Tracking, Evaluation and Identification Engine (TTEIE) system processes tick data to hypothesize and evaluate trading tactics, filtering out false positives and presenting identified tactics in a user-friendly interface, allowing traders to monitor multiple securities and understand buyer and seller activities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional search engines are used to search for trading tactics, then the search can be performed, but the background noise and varied appearances of tactics make it difficult to accurately identify trading tactics

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetactic identification accuracyVSAvoidbackground noise
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the market data into distinct tactical patterns by analyzing specific characteristics such as order size, price changes, and time intervals. This segmentation allows the system to separate genuine trading tactics from background noise by examining individual pattern components rather than treating market data as a homogeneous stream.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters used for analysis by transforming raw market data into normalized tactical patterns. It adjusts parameters such as minimum order sizes, time windows, and price thresholds to identify tactics that would be obscured in raw market data, thereby filtering out background noise while preserving tactical signals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system monitors multiple securities simultaneously, then comprehensive market coverage is achieved, but the complexity of processing and analyzing data increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-security monitoring capabilityVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a universal tactic detection framework that can be applied across multiple securities using the same core algorithms and pattern recognition mechanisms. This multi-functional approach allows the system to monitor diverse securities without requiring security-specific processing logic, thereby managing complexity while achieving comprehensive coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the monitoring process into independent modular components that can process each security separately before aggregating results. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple securities simultaneously while maintaining manageable complexity through parallel processing and modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If the system filters out false positives to improve accuracy, then tactic identification reliability increases, but the processing time and computational resources required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetactic identification reliabilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary filtering actions by pre-defining tactical patterns and their characteristic parameters before actual detection occurs. This preliminary preparation allows the system to quickly compare incoming market data against pre-established criteria, reducing the time required for false positive filtering during real-time operation while maintaining high reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses periodic evaluation intervals where it systematically checks for tactical patterns at defined time windows. This periodic action allows the system to filter false positives in batches rather than continuously, reducing instantaneous processing time while maintaining reliability through systematic verification at each period.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

The Tactic Tracking, Evaluation and Identification Engine Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“TTEIE”) transforms subscription request, tick notification request inputs via TTEIE components into subscription response, identified tactic store request, user interface update notification outputs. A subscription request datastructure from a client is obtained. A set of tactic definition datastructures is retrieved. A tick notification comprising tick data for a tick associated with a target is obtained. A contact datastructure corresponding to each retrieved tactic definition datastructure is added to a tracking list of contact datastructures for the target. The tick data for the tick is appended for each contact datastructure in the tracking list. A contact datastructure's time series of ticks is evaluated with regard to the respective contact datastructure's corresponding time series of rules to classify the respective contact datastructure, for each contact datastructure in the tracking list. The client is notified regarding identified tactic contact datastructures.
