What are iceberg orders?

An iceberg order is an algorithmic order allowing users to slice large orders into multiple small orders. These orders will be placed on the market according to their preferred mode (quick execution/price-speed balance/passive queuing). When one of the smaller orders has been completely filled, or the level has been changed from the initial orders, the system will check the depth and place the order accordingly.

How to use the iceberg trading bot

What are iceberg orders? Iceberg orders are large buys or sells broken down into many smaller orders. They're beneficial when making a significant trade relative to the size of a given market.
