• monitoring, by said at least one processor, trading activity of the instruments at said first and second actuations;
• and
• deactivating, by said at least one processor, one of the first and the second actuations when the instrument being traded at the first actuation is same as the instrument being traded at the second actuation;
• wherein said steps of activating and deactivating comprising toggling, by said at least one processor, between the activating of the first and the second actuations and the deactivating of the first and the second actuations of the at least one of a better buyer selector and a better seller selector.

A computer-implemented system for trading a financial instrument, the system comprising:

• one or more storage devices;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the storage devices, the processors programmed and configured to activate at least one actuation of at least one of a better buyer selector and a better seller selector for the instrument, said better buyer selector functions to activate a request to buy the instrument and said better seller selector functions to activate a request to sell the instrument;
• said processors programmed and configured to deactivate the actuation of the at least one of a better buyer selector and a better seller selector based on parameters, wherein said activation and deactivation comprise toggle between the activation and the deactivation of the actuation of the at least one of a better buyer selector and a better seller selector.
