A method including:
- displaying, by a trading device, a trading screen, wherein the trading screen is a graphical user interface that includes a trade action cell corresponding to a trade action, wherein the trading action cell is a graphical element on the trading screen that is selectable by a user;
- receiving, by the trading device, an initiation command from the user through the trading screen by a selection of the trade action cell;
- determining, by the trading device, that the trade action was initiated based on the initiation command, wherein the trade action includes a trade parameter;
- determining, by the trading device, a delay period, wherein the delay period is based on the trade parameter of the trade action;
- changing, by the trading device, a visual representation of the trade action cell after the initiation command is received and before a confirmation command is received;
- ignoring, by the trading device, any attempted confirmation command, wherein the attempted confirmation command is a selection through the trading screen of the same trade action cell during the delay period, wherein the delay period begins when the initiation command is received;
- receiving, by the trading device, the confirmation command from the user through the trading screen by a selection of the same trade action cell after the delay period;
- and
- executing, by the trading device, the trade action in response to receiving the confirmation command.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by a processor, including instructions executable to:
- display a trading screen, wherein the trading screen is a graphical user interface that includes a trade action cell corresponding to a trade action, wherein the trade action cell is a graphical element on the trading screen that is selectable by a user;
- receive an initiation command from the user through the trading screen by a selection of the trade action cell;
- determine that the trade action was initiated based on the initiation command, wherein the trade action includes a trade parameter;
- determine a delay period, wherein the delay period is based on the trade parameter of the trade action;
- 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 a selection through the trading screen of the same trade action cell during the delay period wherein the delay period begins when the initiation command is received;
- receive the confirmation command from the user through the trading screen by a selection of the same trade action cell after the delay period;
- and
- execute the trade action in response to receiving the confirmation command.
