- This patent generally relates to the regulation and reporting of futures markets. In particular, this patent relates to a method and product for the tracking and reporting of future positions in accordance with federal regulations.
- The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission or CFTC) was established to protect market users and the public from fraud, manipulation, and abusive practices related to the sale of commodity and financial futures and options, and to foster open, competitive, and financially sound futures and option markets. The CFTC requires futures commission merchants, clearing members, and foreign brokers (collectively called “reporting firms”) to report futures and trading position information on behalf of the special accounts carried on their books that meet pre-defined reporting level criteria. The futures commission merchants, clearing members, and foreign brokers are required to report to the CFTC position information of the largest futures and options traders and provide certain identifying information for the traders themselves. The reporting levels and/or criteria are established to ensure that the CFTC receives adequate information to carry out its market surveillance programs and, in turn, detect and to prevent market congestion and price manipulation and enforce speculative position limits.
- The futures commission merchants, clearing members, and foreign brokers are required to complete and transmit a CFTC Form 102, titled “Commodities Futures Trading Commission Identification of “‘Special Account.’” Special accounts are simply identified as any commodity futures or options account in which there is a reportable position in accordance with the CFTC's guidelines and regulations. The Form 102 provides a standardized reporting format that allows the futures commission merchants, clearing members, and foreign brokers to list and provides the required information to both the CFTC and the applicable exchanges.
- Reporting the required information includes filling out a Form 102 and/or attachment to a Form 102 for each trader, client, etc., for which a position must be reported. The completed form is then transmitted, typically via facsimile, to the CFTC and/or applicable exchange for transcription and entrance in to the appropriate tracking and/or monitoring system. The reporting process is time-consuming and error prone, however the desirability of maintaining a hard-copy, i.e., a paper trail, has outweighed the convenience of simply maintaining and transmitting the information electronically.
- It would be desirable to provide a product and method of reporting the required information that addresses these shortcomings. Moreover, it would be desirable to automate the reporting process to increase efficiency and accuracy. Additional features and advantages of the present invention are described in, and will be apparent from, the following Detailed Description of the Invention and the figures.

FIGS. 1 and 1A illustrate an exemplary CFTC Form 102 reporting form; and -
FIG. 2 depicts the information flow of an automated tracking and reporting system arranged in accordance with the teaching of the present disclosure. - The disclosed automated tracking and reporting product and process may be utilized to regeneratively record, report and provide information to the CFTC and applicable exchanges. Moreover, the disclosed automated tracking and reporting product and process provides for electronically storing and communicating the required information and creating archival or saved hard copies for confirmation of the same.
-
FIGS. 1 and 1A illustrate the first and second sheets of an exemplary Form 102 identification form that may be provided to the CFTC. As previously discussed, CFTC regulations require that a Form 102, i.e., an account identification form, must be filed with the CFTC to identify each reportable account. The form generally must typically be submitted within three (3) business days of the account first establishing a reportable position. Therefore the ease and efficiency of the reporting process is of interest and importance. Upon completion, the Form 102 must be filed directly with the CFTC with a copy sent to the exchange at which the reportable position exists. -
FIGS. 1 and 1A include four (4) sections of information that identify the account(s) or the special account(s) that must be reported. For example, insection 1 of the exemplary Form 102, the owner or controller of the account is identified. If applicable the location of the individual, business or firm that controls the account, along with the reporting number and contact information may be provided.Section 2 includes additional information related to the type of legal entity that controls the account(s). For example, the legal entity may be: (i) an individual, (ii) a sole proprietorship, (iii) a trust, (iv) a corporation, (v) a partnership, (vi) a limited liability corporation, (vii) joint, etc. Account numbers, routing information, majority and influential traders or shareholders can further be defined insection 2.Section 3 identifies the number of accounts controlled by an advisor, trader or shareholder.Section 4 identifies whether the reported positions are being held to offset or hedge positions the advisor, etc. has taken in a related cash commodity. Finally,section 5 identified the location and contact information of the account executive managing and/or handling the account. It will be understood that additional or different information may be required or provided based on the reporting requirements established by the CFTC and any other regulatory or information gathering entity. - In an embodiment, an automated, regenerative application or document that facilitates the recording, tracking and communicating information concerning trader's positions is disclosed. The application may be used to collect the information necessary to complete the Form 102, or alternatively may be used to collect additional information or adapted to store, compile and collect other information. Moreover, this application may be utilized to encode, and transmit the compiled information for secure transmission to a desired receiving entity.
- The disclosed application is a self-contained and/or stand-alone application that can be executed on a variety of computing platforms and operating systems such as, for example, LINUX and MICROSOFT® WINDOWS®. In order to achieve such interoperability, the application could be individually tailored or written in operating system specific programming languages, or could, alternatively, be written in a language such as hypertext markup language (HTML). By writing application or document in HTML, the application can be executed and/or utilized on any system or device having a web browser such as, for example, MICROSOFT® INTERNET EXPLORER®. Moreover, the disclosed application may be designed to be a stand-alone application that does not require an additional communication connection or link, e.g., to the interne, intranet or other web-based service, to operate. The displaced application may simply be a self-contained program utilizes HTML and/or other programming languages to create a copy of itself without sending any information or requests to a program or server outside of the web browser or outside of the host computer upon which the web browser is executing.
- In an embodiment, HTML is utilized to design and format an electronic version of the CFTC's Form 102, generally identified as a data collection document or form, see
block 20. The data collection document is designed utilizing HMTL formatting and functionality to closely resemble the original paper or hardcopy document it is intended to replace and/or supplement. As shown atblock 22, the look and feel of the hard copy document illustrated inFIGS. 1 and 1A can be recreated to simplify the transition to the new electronically formatted data collection document. In addition to resembling the original document, the new electronic data collection document can include functionality and options that can augment and improve the user's data reporting experience and efficiency. For example, the data collection document could prompt the user with predefined selections or answers for common information queries. The data collection document can adapt and/or change the status of interactive elements, e.g., checkboxes, text boxes, lists, buttons, etc., based on user selections. For example, because the check box indicated by thereference numeral 24 is selected the text box identified as “Organization Name” may be made active. In other embodiments, the document can store previous answers or data to reduce or eliminate the need for repetitive data entry. In yet other embodiments, the document can be coded or programmed to allow additional information, appendices and attachments to be quickly and easily attached to the original data collection document. - As discussed above, the data collection document may be coded in HTML to resemble a desired form. The coded document is self-contained and designed to include code or executable instructions that are stored in two places within the document. One copy of the code is placed in memory, for example, in an array, and the other copy of the code is active and utilized to run or produce the data collection document and its associated functionality (see block 20). One of the advantages to this configuration is that it eliminates the need for external JAVASCRIPT® or executable files that are commonly utilized to provide functionality to HTML documents or programs. Moreover, because the data collection document contains two copies (one executable copy and one stored copy) of the code or instructions necessary to generate and interact with the document or program, the program is regenerative and self-contained. This configuration simplifies the installation, maintenance and overall usability of the data collection document. And allows the same application or document to be used and reused to simplify the reporting process.
- In operation, the user selects and opens, e.g., double clicks in a graphical environment, on the icon representative of the application or data collection document for which information is to be entered and reported. The data collection document, which is associated with the systems web browser application, e.g., MOZILLA® FIREFOX®, spawns or initiates a browser session that, in turn, displays the HTML formatted data collection document as shown in
block 22. - Information may be entered, for example, into the “City”
text box 26. At ablock 28, the entered information, for example, “Chicago”, can be assigned to a variable, “X”. The assigned information “X” can, in turn, be a portion of the code that is stored, for example, in an array, as shown inblock 30. - When all of the information necessary or required for complete reporting has been entered in the data collection document and assigned to variable, the document can be printed, exported or saved to retain the changes or information. For example, at a
block 32, the user may elect to save the data collection document and the provided information, and may be prompted to enter a filename. The user may or may not give the original file name to overwrite the original data collection document. After a file name is provided the application or program initiates a new browser session or window. The application or document then reads the code stored within the array from the original document, i.e., in this example, the data collection document shown inblock 22, and copies it to a new array established within the document associated with the new browser window or session. The application or program then reads the code stored within the array again, and writes out the working functions, including the assigned information “X” and the stored code, into the document associated with the new browser window or session. In this way, the assigned information provided or entered into the original data collection document is copied and integrated into a new version of the data collection document. The original version of the data collection document may then be wiped clean of any code or provided information and the user may be prompted to delete or remove the original file (not shown). - The new version of the data collection document may, either before or after the archive or save operation has been completed, be communicated to the appropriate party for recordation. For example, the formatted HTML data collection document may be printed and transmitted via postal service or facsimile for recordation by the agency, commission or exchange. Alternatively, the data collection document may be transmitted in an electronic format to a recipient via email, etc., and may, in turn, be entered directly into an electronic database.
- It should be understood that various changes and modifications to the presently preferred embodiments described herein will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and without diminishing its intended advantages. It is therefore intended that such changes and modifications be covered by the appended claims.
