Abstract
Embodiments for motion based target prediction and interaction are described herein. One example embodiment includes predicting a target element based on a user moving a cursor in relation to a trading interface. When a target element is identified, one or more actions may be pre-configured based on the target element. For example, when a target element is associated with a buy action and a price, an order message to buy a tradeable object at the price may be generated based on the predicted target element. Then, a user action may be received to select the target element and to execute the action. The user action selecting the target element may be received prior to the cursor reaching the desired target.
Claims19
A method for motion based target prediction and interaction, comprising:
- receiving a first user input by an electronic trading device to move a cursor;
- detecting movement of the cursor from a location without a set of selectable elements towards the set of selectable elements, where each selectable element of the set of selectable elements comprises an order parameter for an order for a tradeable object;
- in response to detecting the movement of the cursor, predicting by the electronic trading device a trajectory path of the cursor toward a first target element of the set of selectable elements, the trajectory path being predicted according to at least a first location without the set of selectable elements along the movement of the cursor and a second location without the set of selectable elements along the movement of the cursor;
- in response to predicting the trajectory path of the cursor toward the first target element and prior to the cursor reaching the first target element, identifying by the electronic trading device, a first order parameter for a first order related message for an order for the tradeable object as an order parameter for the first target element;
- in response to predicting the trajectory path of the cursor toward the first target element and prior to the cursor reaching the first target element, setting by the electronic trading device the first order parameter for the first order related message for the tradeable object;
- and
- in response to setting of the first order related message, initiating by the electronic trading device submission of the first order related message to an electronic exchange.
