Screen-based trading platforms mechanically enforce non-overlapping turn-taking among traders.
Evidence
Here, some structural limitations of trading conversations result from being conducted within a specialized computerized turn-taking system that allows no overlaps and in which turns are formally passed on to another participant by pressing a key. The system provides interrupt keys, though, that force a change of turn and are used to gain time. — Karin Knorr Cetina & Urs Bruegger, Global Microstructures, 111
