Reducing the total quantity of multiple orders at a price level

If you have multiple orders working at the same price level, you can reduce the total quantity of two or more of the orders.

For example, you submit three working orders of 10, 20, and 30 contracts respectively for a total order quantity of 60 at a price level, then decide to reduce the total quantity to 30 using the Floating Order Book.

TT would delete the 30-lot order (the most recent) to bring the total quantity to 30. Conversely, if you placed the same orders in reverse (30, 20, 10), TT would delete the 10- and 20-lot orders, leaving the single 30-lot order. If necessary, TT will change the quantity of the newest remaining order to achieve the desired total quantity.

To reduce the total quantity of multiple orders at a price level:

1. Open the Floating Order Book and select the orders whose total quantity you want to reduce.

   The total quantity of the selected orders is displayed in the Update order qty: field (e.g., 20).

   

2. Click the Update order qty: checkbox and enter the new total quantity (e.g., 5).

   

   The WrkQty column shows which selected orders will be canceled (red) or modified (green) to reflect the updated total quantity of the orders.

3. Click to accept the order changes.

Modifying child algo orders or TT Order Type orders

1. Select one or more child algo or TT Order Type orders in the Floating Order Book.

   

2. Click at the bottom of the Floating Order Book to open the Algo Parameters dialog box.

   The number of orders selected is displayed in the button (e.g., 2).

   

   Tip: If only one order is selected, click in the Mod column for the selected order.

   

3. Modify the algo or order type parameters and click Submit.

   Double-click each parameter to modify its value (e.g., Order Price).
