1We assume it is not neccesary to wait for cancel confirmation before placing new order. There is risk of working orders getting partially or full filled. This would result in larger than desired position size. This usually won’t happen due to the fact the time window for this to happen is usually only a small fraction of a second. If trader wanted to eliminate this risk altogether, they could press two keys instead of one. First key would be to cancel orders, second key would be to trade to target.
