1. A method comprising:
display a design area as part of a graphical user interface, wherein the design area includes a plurality of blocks arranged to specify a definition for a trading algorithm;
detecting a change in the arrangement of the plurality of blocks, wherein the change in the arrangement of the plurality of blocks includes a change with respect to a changed block;
in response to the detected change in the arrangement of the plurality of blocks, determining that the trading algorithm does not comply with a trading algorithm rule that defines a problem associated with a block type of the changed block;
in response determining that the trading algorithm does not comply with the trading algorithm rule, displaying in the design area of the graphical user interface a highlight identifying at least one block of the plurality of blocks, wherein the highlight identifies the at least one block that does not comply with the trading algorithm rule;
displaying, in response to receiving a selection command from the graphical user interface, in the design area of the graphical user interface the highlight with an opaque background, wherein the opaque background is behind the at least one block of the plurality of blocks and obscures the remaining blocks in the plurality of blocks.
