A system and methods for dynamically changing a trade order quantity in an
electronic trading environment are described herein. According to one
example embodiment, an automated trading tool determines if a leaned on
quantity of a trading strategy has increased or decreased and if so,
dynamically changing a desired order quantity to reflect the change in
the leaned on quantity. Dynamically changing an order quantity may be
more profitable for a trader as order queue position may be maintained
and portion of the desired order quantity may get filled; rather than a
trader losing their order queue position and/or taking a chance of not
getting any of their order quantity filled.
