                Appeal No. 2006-1126                                                                          
                Application No. 10/455,701                                                                    

                below the current market price.”  Thus, we find that the combination of Bondy                 
                and Lupien teaches the stop value being a predetermined amount or percentage                  
                of value in the investment.  Accordingly, we sustain the examiner’s rejection of              
                claims 15, 16 and 18.                                                                         
                Claims 20, 22, 23 and 25.                                                                     
                      On page 16 of the brief, appellant argues that the rejection of claim 20 is             
                improper, as Lupien does not teach an algorithm for automatically outputting a                
                trade request.  As stated supra with respect to claim 7, we find that Lupien does             
                teach automatically outputting a trade request.  Accordingly, we sustain the                  
                examiner’s rejection of claim 20.                                                             
                      With respect to claims 22, 23 and 25, the appellant argues, on page 16 of               
                the brief, that the combination of Lupien and Bondy does not teach a system                   
                which receives a stop value and sets an execution price for the moving stop                   
                based upon the stop value or that the received stop value is a predetermined                  
                percentage of the value of the investment as recited in claim 23 or 25.                       
                      As discussed supra with respect to claims 16 and 18, we find that the                   
                combination of Bondy and Lupien teaches the stop value being a predetermined                  
                amount or percentage of value in the investment.  Accordingly, we sustain the                 
                examiner’s rejection of claims 22, 23 and 25.
