Abstract: An example fraud analysis platform may receive timing information associated with a user interaction during a transaction, wherein the user interaction is associated with a user engaging in a transaction using a transaction account and a transaction device to access the transaction account. The fraud analysis platform may generate, based on the timing information, a transaction interaction signature associated with the user interaction. The fraud analysis platform may compare the transaction interaction signature to a reference signature associated with an authorized user of a transaction account. The fraud analysis platform may determine, based on the transaction interaction signature being associated with the reference signature, that the user interaction was performed by the authorized user of the transaction account. The fraud analysis platform may perform, based on determining that the user interaction was performed by the authorized user, an action associated with the transaction or transaction account.

Abstract: Systems and methods for chart-based order entry are described. According to one example method a chart is used to display historical market data corresponding to a tradeable object. An order entry interface is displayed in relation to the chart. The order entry interface includes a plurality of price objects for selecting price levels to be used for trade orders to buy or sell the tradeable object. According to one example method, the price levels corresponding to the price objects depend on a location of the interface in relation to the chart, and as the interface is moved in relation to the chart, the price levels are automatically updated. Upon selection of the price level on the interface, a trade order to buy or sell is submitted to a matching engine at an electronic exchange.
