Size Abbreviations

DOMTrader quantities, order sizes, and positions are abbreviated using:

      K= thousand

      M = million

      B = billion

Any necessary rounding is done according to standard mathematical principles. The DOMTrader and Order Ticket display balloons with the full quantity if you hover the cursor over the value.

DOMTrader and position quantity is abbreviated to its maximum length of three digits if it is more than 5 digits.

For example:

76,163,344 becomes 76.2M

6,103,344 becomes 6.1M

120,345 becomes 120K

23,345 stays 23,345

Order size, including iceberg display quantity, is abbreviated to its maximum length of four digits.

For example:

76,100,000 becomes 76M

10,000 becomes 10K

123,400 becomes 123K

1000 stays 1000

You are able to use these new abbreviations when you enter order size. Overflow, meaning when the quantity is too large to be displayed, is identified using the plus sign. For example, values over 2,147,483,647 are represented as “2b+”.

These abbreviations do not apply to batch orders.

Please note that manual fills are designated with lowercase m and not uppercase M.
