Hold in Timer: The best bid and the best offer cannot be canceled for two seconds; however, you can reduce the quantity to a 1-lot (one million). Orders joining the best bid and best offer are not subject to the Hold in Timer rule.

Trade Through Threshold: This is the minimum order quantity needed to end the current workup market and trade through to the next available price.
