In FIG. 7A, 326 is a user ID input window, 327 is a password input window, and 328 is a send button. When the customer inputs the user ID and password in the input windows 326 and 327 of the authentication screen 32 and clicks the send button 328, the authentication server 104 stores the user ID and password entered by the customer in the user database 105. Authentication is performed in comparison with the password, and the gadget can be used when the user ID and the password match (S106). Thereby, a plurality of gadget screens 20 (see FIGS. 3 to 5) related to the foreign exchange transaction are collectively displayed in the lower left corner of the desktop screen of the terminal 1. From the next time the terminal is activated, the gadget screen 20 is displayed together in the lower left corner of the desktop screen at the time of activation.

  FIG. 6B shows an example of a processing flow in the gadget 20. For example, the customer can exchange foreign exchanges in real time (every 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc. in real time) from the real rate gadget screens 20a, 20b, swap point list gadget screen 20c, and rate transition list gadget screen 20e displayed on the desktop screen. Information related to the transaction can be obtained (S201). The rate feed server 102 samples the exchange rate of each currency pair, swap points, and the number of trade requests (volume) from the rate feed server 102 every 5 minutes (or every 10 minutes), and sells, buys, spreads, It is converted into a trading ratio and displayed on each gadget screen 20. The selling price, the buying price, and the spread may be acquired from the rate feed server 102. A graph indicating a change with time is created based on data sampled from the rate feed server 102, for example, every 5 minutes (or every 10 minutes) in the rate transition list gadget 20e. If the time zone is long, it is extracted from the sampled data according to the memory interval of the graph corresponding to the time zone. Note that the data may be acquired from the data stored in the rate feed server 102 according to the memory interval of the graph corresponding to the time zone. When the time zone of the chart is longer than one day, the latter is preferable because the memory load of the gadget is lightened. In the swap point list / calculation gadgets 20c and 20d, the swap point list display is selected by default. From these gadgets, the customer can know the selling price, buying price, spread, swap point, exchange rate movement, and trading ratio movement for each currency pair. When the fluctuation is severe, it is preferable to display by performing statistical processing such as averaging and moving average when displaying. In the information display fields 207a to 207c, advertisement information such as campaigns, comments and topic information effective for customer judgment are displayed.

  The customer can perform a simulation when placing an order from the information displayed on the desktop screen. In the present embodiment, a predicted acquisition amount is simulated using the calculation / order gadget 20d (S202). Whether or not to perform the simulation depends on the customer's free will. By clicking the calculation / order tag 210 on the swap point list / calculation gadget screen 20c, 20d, the screen can be switched to the calculation / order screen. The customer sets the currency pair in the currency pair input window 211, “sell” or “buy” in the trade type input window 212, and the transaction start date and transaction settlement date in the transaction start date input window 213 and transaction settlement date input window 214, respectively. Enter the transaction currency amount (the number of positions, the number of open positions) in the position number input window 215 and click the calculation start button 216. The forex trading program 3 performs a simulation and calculates the predicted acquisition amount for the forex trading. Then, the simulation result is displayed in the simulation result display field 217. For example, the estimated acquisition amount for foreign exchange transactions is the estimated acquisition amount based on swap points, the estimated acquisition amount due to the difference in foreign exchange rates when a settlement order is currently made, and the foreign exchange rate at the time of settlement order when a new order is made at the moment. Examples include estimated acquisition amounts based on estimated rate differences, and estimated acquisition amounts including transaction fees, swap points, and rate differences. That is, the calculation / order gadget 20d uses the currency pair, trading type, transaction start date, transaction closing date, and number of positions input to the calculation / order screen 20d, and acquires time-dependent data in the rate feed server 102 in some cases. Then, the exchange rate and swap points between the transaction start date and the transaction settlement date are predicted, statistical processing such as moving average is performed in some cases, simulation is performed, and the calculation result is displayed in the simulation result display field 217. If the customer who sees the simulation result wants to place an order for a transaction, the process proceeds to the ordering procedure. When the order button 218 on the calculation / order screen 20d is clicked (S203), the order screen 31 is displayed on the desktop screen of the terminal 1 by the trading interface 30 (S204).

  In the order screen 31 shown in FIG. 7B, the customer selects the currency pair in the currency pair input window 311, the transaction currency amount (number of positions) in the amount input window 312, and “sell” or “buy” in the trade type input window 313. ". The rate display window 314 displays the exchange rate acquired in real time from the rate feed server. The order method input window 315 is inputted by selecting an order method from tags, for example. As an ordering method, for example, market order, limit order, stop limit order, IFD, OCO, IFO, trail order, etc. can be selected. The current selling price / buying price is displayed in the selling price / bid price display field 320. Depending on the ordering method, a slippage tolerance input window 321, a limit order line input window 322, a stop order line input window 323, a new order An input window 324 for a selling price or a buying price and an input window 325 for a trail price range can be input.

  A user ID and a password are input to the user ID input window 316 and the password input window 317, respectively. When the order confirmation button 318 is clicked after the currency pair, transaction currency amount (number of positions, number of positions), trade type, order method, user ID, and password are entered, customer authentication is performed (S205). The authentication server 104 performs authentication by comparing the user ID and password entered by the customer with the user ID and password registered in the customer database 105, and the transaction site of the foreign exchange trading system 100 only when the user ID and password match. Allow login to. When login to the transaction site is permitted, an order confirmation screen (not shown) is displayed by the trading interface 30. The order confirmation screen displays the currency pair acquired from the order screen 31, the amount of transaction currency (number of positions), buying and selling. The type, exchange rate, and order method are displayed again. In addition, when an order reconfirmation button and an order cancellation button are displayed and the order reconfirmation button is clicked (S206), the transaction site is logged in and the foreign exchange trading procedure is performed. Further, when the order cancel button is clicked, the order is canceled, the calculation / order gadget screen 20d is returned, and the simulation can be performed again.

  FIG. 6C shows an example of an ordering process flow in the foreign exchange transaction system 100. The transaction management server 101 acquires the currency pair, the trade type, the transaction start date, the transaction settlement date, and the number of positions input from the trading interface 30, and acquires the exchange rate of the currency pair input from the rate feed server 30, The contract server 103 executes the foreign exchange trading procedure, and manages the foreign exchange trading account relating to the customer that changes through the foreign exchange trading procedure. The contract server 13 executes the foreign exchange trading procedure according to the algorithm for processing the foreign exchange trading procedure based on the order of the customer related to the foreign exchange transaction.

  First, the transaction management server 101 takes in a currency pair, transaction currency amount (number of positions), trade type, exchange rate, order method from the order confirmation screen, attaches these data, and instructs the contract server 13 to place an order. (S301). Here, a case where a market order is selected as an ordering method will be described. When the market order is selected, the current selling price / buying price is displayed in the selling price / bid price display field 320, and the slip window allowable width input window 321 can be input. Other ordering methods will be described in the fourth embodiment. In the market order, an allowable width of slippage (the difference between the presented rate and the actual contracted rate) can be set at the time of placing the order. The allowable width “point” of the slippage (one point is one coin when the currency pair is US dollar / yen) can be selected from seven types, for example, 0, 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, and “success”. The customer selects and inputs the allowable width into the slippage allowable width input window 321. The rate changes from when the order is placed (when the order confirmation button is clicked) until the execution of the contract. Based on the algorithm corresponding to the order method, the contract server 103 refers to the data acquired from the order confirmation screen and the allowable width of the slippage to determine whether or not to execute the contract (S302). When the exchange rate at the time of execution changes from the time of ordering to the direction that is unchanged or favorable to the customer (rate increase for US dollar sale, rate decrease for US dollar purchase), the contract is executed and the direction that is unfavorable to the customer from the time of order ( When the rate changes to US dollar selling and rate rising and US dollar buying increases, the contract is executed if the deviation is within the allowable range of the slippage, and if not, the contract is not executed (S303). If you select “Going”, the contract is executed at the exchange rate at the time of execution. When the contract is executed, the contract server 103 notifies the transaction management server 101 of the completion of the transaction and the exchange rate at the time of the contract, and the contract is not performed within a predetermined time (for example, 15 minutes) after the order is placed. In this case, the session is automatically invalidated, and the contract server 103 notifies the transaction management server 101 that the transaction has not been established (S304). The transaction management server 101 uses the trading interface 30 to display, for example, whether the transaction has been established or not established in the information display field 207c of the swap point list / calculation gadget screens 20c and 20d, and if the transaction has been established, It is displayed (S305). The information may be displayed in the information display fields 207a and 207b of the real rate gadget screens 20a and 20b.

  The transaction management server 101 manages customer accounts and calculates the margin balance (S306). Add and subtract the trading value and swap points to the margin amount, and reduce the trading fee (if necessary) to obtain the margin balance. Next, the margin balance is notified to the calculation gadget 20d, for example, via the trading interface 30, and displayed in the information display field 207c of the calculation gadget screen 20d. If it is necessary to increase the margin in the transaction or future transaction, this is also notified and displayed. The information may be displayed in the information display fields 207a and 207b of the real rate gadget screens 20a and 20b.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a foreign exchange transaction program that can be accessed from a gadget consistently from information provision to ordering.
