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:
-
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).

-
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.
- Click
to accept the order changes.
