I'd like to propose that the current spec be enhanced to allow region specific controls within the strategy layout itself. Currently you are limited to either copying an existing strategy and making it into a separate region specific strategy with the appropriate control differences or to create region combos within a single strategy to hide/show/enable/disable controls for a region. This seems fairly inefficient to me and causes overload for the trader using your interface which ultimately leads to frustration and less order flow. If the Region and Country identifiers could be added to each parameter/control, you could condense your offering and harmonize many strategies across regions with the minor differences that may exist (auction controls for example). Being a trader myself, I understand the frustration associated with looking at a unnecessarily long list of strategies to choose from and the desire to keep things as compact as possible. Thoughts?
