Max Show Quantity

Postby waveslider » 05 Mar 2012

I need to be able to hide the quantity I am trading. I can do this with my order entry platform (Rithmic) and I could do it with TS (using "show only" command). What is the likelihood of this being incorporated into MC?

thanks

Please describe the functionality of this command and what are the benefits of using it in the code.

Henry -

If you trying to buy a position and yours is the only bid, it is strategic not to show the entire position you are trying to buy.

By inserting a piece of code that would show only the desired size, the rest of the market would only see the quantity you choose to display on the DOM.

TS allows this with a "setshowonly(size)" command.

My Rithmic platform allows me to check a box on the DOM order book that says "max show quantity" and enter the number of shares that I would like to display.

It could be that in using this option on the Rithmic platform Rithmic already filters the size to be shown - I don't know. I'll have to test that.
