Trade action confirmation tool
Systems, methods, and apparatus for confirming trade actions are disclosed. An example method includes displaying a trade action cell corresponding with a trade action, receiving an initiation command, determining that the trade action was initiated based on the initiation command, receiving a confirmation command, wherein the confirmation command is a selection of the same trade action cell, and executing the trade action based on reception of the confirmation command.
1. A method including:
displaying, by a trading device, a trading screen, wherein the trading screen is a graphical user interface that includes a trade action cell corresponding to a trade action, wherein the trading action cell is a graphical element on the trading screen that is selectable by a user;
receiving, by the trading device, an initiation command from the user through the trading screen by a selection of the trade action cell;
determining, by the trading device, that the trade action was initiated based on the initiation command, wherein the trade action includes a trade parameter;
determining, by the trading device, a delay period, wherein the delay period is based on the trade parameter of the trade action;
changing, by the trading device, a visual representation of the trade action cell after the initiation command is received and before a confirmation command is received;
ignoring, by the trading device, any attempted confirmation command, wherein the attempted confirmation command is a selection through the trading screen of the same trade action cell during the delay period, wherein the delay period begins when the initiation command is received;
receiving, by the trading device, the confirmation command from the user through the trading screen by a selection of the same trade action cell after the delay period; and
executing, by the trading device, the trade action in response to receiving the confirmation command.
2. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by a processor, including instructions executable to:
display a trading screen, wherein the trading screen is a graphical user interface that includes a trade action cell corresponding to a trade action, wherein the trade action cell is a graphical element on the trading screen that is selectable by a user;
receive an initiation command from the user through the trading screen by a selection of the trade action cell;
determine that the trade action was initiated based on the initiation command, wherein the trade action includes a trade parameter;
determine a delay period, wherein the delay period is based on the trade parameter of the trade action;
change a visual representation of the trade action cell after the initiation command is received and before a confirmation command is received;
ignore any attempted confirmation command, wherein the attempted confirmation command is a selection through the trading screen of the same trade action cell during the delay period wherein the delay period begins when the initiation command is received;
receive the confirmation command from the user through the trading screen by a selection of the same trade action cell after the delay period; and
execute the trade action in response to receiving the confirmation command.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the visual representation of the trade action cell is changed for the duration of the delay period.
4. The method of claim 3 , further including:
changing, by the trading device, the visual representation of the trade action cell after the delay period and before the confirmation command is received.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the trade parameter is a quantity associated with the trade action.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the trade parameter is a price associated with the trade action.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the trade parameter is a side associated with the trade action.
8. The computer readable medium of claim 2 , wherein
the visual representation of the trade action cell is changed for the duration of the delay period.
9. The computer readable medium of claim 8 , further including instructions executable to:
change the visual representation of the trade action cell after the delay period and before the confirmation command is received.
10. The computer readable medium of claim 2 , wherein the trade parameter is a quantity associated with the trade action.
11. The computer readable medium of claim 2 , wherein the trade parameter is a price associated with the trade action.
12. The computer readable medium of claim 2 , wherein the trade parameter is a side associated with the trade action.
