1. A method comprising:
- generating, via an electronic processor on a display of a computing device, a user interface for providing data to a user and for receiving user inputs from the user, the user interface having a parameter control input displayed by the user interface, where the parameter control input is configured to receive gestural inputs for a trade action;
detecting, via the electronic processor, an activation event for the parameter control input, wherein the activation event is a first gestural input received via the parameter control input of the generated user interface;
determining, via the electronic processor, whether the activation event for the parameter control input satisfies at least one activation criterion;
in response to determining that the activation event satisfies the at least one activation criterion via the electronic processor, activating, via the electronic processor, the parameter control input, where the activated parameter control input is configured to receive a user input for a trade action parameter;
displaying, via the electronic processor on the user interface, a plurality of eligible values for the trade action parameter and a current value of the trade action parameter, the plurality of eligible values for the trade action parameter being displayed via the user interface in a relative sequence;
detecting, via the electronic processor, a second gestural input received via the parameter control input, the second gestural input defining a directional movement relative to the parameter control input and the displayed plurality of eligible values; and
in response to detecting the second gestural input, updating, via the electronic processor on the user interface, the current value of the trade action parameter, wherein the current value of the trade action parameter is updated according to the relative sequence based on the directional movement of the second gestural input.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus to implement spin-gesture based trade action parameter selection are disclosed herein. An example method includes detecting, via a user interface of a trading application generated by a computing device, an activation event associated with an interface control corresponding to a trade action, wherein the activation event is a gestural input received via the generated user interface. The example method also includes updating, via the user interface, a value of a trade action parameter associated with the trade action, wherein the value of the trade action parameter updates in a sequence based on a direction associated with the gestural input.
