In the case where the LeavesQty falls below the MinQty on an order, the default is to treat the MinQty as one (1), meaning any amount of the remaining shares can be filled. There are two other options available. 1) cxl the order back when leaves falls below minqty and 2) adjust the new minqty to the leaves qty. Please see our FIX spec for more information about how to utilize these other options, or contact ops@intelligentcross.com.
