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 non-transitory, computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by a processor, including instructions executable to:
receive an initiation command through a selection of a trade action cell of a graphical user interface, wherein the trade action cell is a graphical element on the graphical user interface that is selectable by a user, wherein the trade action cell is associated with a trade action including a trade parameter;
determine, in response to receiving the initiation command, a delay period, wherein the delay period is based on the trade parameter of the trade action, wherein the delay period begins when the initiation command is received;
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 received through a selection of the trade action cell during the delay period;
receive the confirmation command through a selection of the trade action cell after the delay period; and
execute, in response to receiving the confirmation command, the trade action.
2. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the visual representation of the trade action cell is changed for a duration of the delay period.
3. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 2 , 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.
4. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the visual representation of the trade action cell is changed when the initiation command is received.
5. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the visual representation of the trade action cell is changed until the confirmation command is received.
6. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the visual representation of the trade action cell is changed after the delay period.
7. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the trade parameter is a quantity associated with the trade action.
8. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the trade parameter is a price associated with the trade action.
9. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the trade parameter is a side associated with the trade action.
