When submitting an order, if I enter an order price, but incorrectly use the wrong order type. The order price will change when I change the order type. This can create an additional slowdown if you are trying to move a stop, place an order, etc.
For example, I want to place a 2 contract Limit Short Order at 85.33 in CL. I accidentally enter the Order Price (85.33) in the Stop Market order type. When I change the order type from Stop Market to Limit, the order price (85.33) will change to the previously entered value on that order type (ex 85.05). It would be better if the order price would remain the same (85.33) after changing the order type from Stop Market to Limit.
Maybe have a setting where you can click check here if you want the order price to be global on the asset or not?
Second suggestion is when changing an instrument, the order price shouldn't remain the same. It should default to the previously entered value or default to the current list price of the new instrument.
Using the previous CL example. Let's say I was in a trade in GC, and I had an order price of 2345.80 entered. If I change the instrument from GC to CL, the order price will remain the same (2345.80). It would be better if the order price would either change to 85.05 (previous entry value) or display the current value (ex 85.21).
Both of these suggestions can help reduce time on order execution and reduce mistakes. I once accidentally placed an oil entry at 5244.25.
