Abstract
Methods and systems for reconciling a forward conversion strategy are provided. A forward conversion strategy may include a long stock order, a long put order, and a short call order, for at least one security. The method may include automatic calculation of the following items/values for each forward conversion strategy in an account: a cost basis, multiple present values, and multiple unrealized gain/loss values. The method may include automatic display of the values described above on a first computer system. The present value may be determined on a periodic basis (e.g., daily, at user configurable times, and/or in real-time). A forward conversion strategy that is missing at least one of its parts may be automatically restored by automatically acquiring of the at least one missing securities position (e.g., buying the stock long, buying the long put, or selling the short call).
