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 tradable 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.
