Disclosed quantity orders

Mon, 11 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A disclosed quantity order is a limit order in which the trader specifies that only a fraction of the total order quantity should be visible in the public order book (the market depth) at any given time. The remaining quantity, the undisclosed portion, is held by the exchange and released into the book as successive tranches of the disclosed quantity are filled. The exchange matching engine treats the full order quantity as active, but only market participants see the disclosed portion.
