1. A method for facilitating electronic trading over a communication network between interfaces of computing devices, the method comprising:

  • displaying by at least one processor on a display device a graphical user interface of a computing device of a user, wherein the graphical user interface includes an order price for a first non-standard settlement position for a financial instrument and an order price for a second non-standard settlement position for the financial instrument,wherein the order price for the first non-standard settlement position is based at least in part on (i) a first cost of borrowing the financial instrument for a first duration of time and (ii) at least one market price for the financial instrument, andwherein the order price for the second non-standard settlement position is based at least in part on (i) a second cost of borrowing the financial instrument for a second duration of time and (ii) the at least one market price;

    wherein the graphical user interface comprises a first portion and a second portion;

    wherein the at least one market price is displayed in the first portion of the graphical user interface and the order price for the first non-standard settlement position and the order price for the second non-standard settlement position are displayed in the second portion of the graphical user interface,wherein the second portion of the graphical user interface of the computing device of the user is either hidden from a user or displayed to the user together with the first portion of the graphical user interface,wherein the graphical user interface of the computing device of the user further comprises a button that is selectable by the user,wherein when the second portion of the graphical user interface of the computing device is hidden from the user, a selection of the button by the user causes the second portion of the graphical user interface of the computing device to be displayed to the user on the display device, andwherein when the second portion of the graphical user interface of the computing device is displayed to the user, a selection of the button by the user causes the second portion of the graphical user interface of the computing device to be hidden from the user on the display device; and

    wherein the displayed at least one market price for the financial instrument, the displayed order price for the first non-standard settlement position, and the displayed order price for the second non-standard settlement position are selectable by a user to submit a respective trading order for the financial instrument, the first non-standard settlement position, and the second non-standard settlement position;

    detecting by the at least one processor a selection of the button of the interface of the computing device by the user;

    responsive to detecting the selection of the button by the user, displaying by the at least one processor the second portion of the graphical user interface of the computing device to the user on the display device;

    detecting by the at least one processor a selection by the user of the displayed order price for the first non-standard settlement position; and

    responsive to detecting the selection of the displayed order price for the first non-standard settlement position, displaying by the at least one processor on the display device a trading interface of the computing device to the user; and

    receiving by the at least one processor a request to trade the first non-standard settlement position as a result of the user interacting with the trading interface.
