Use the Iceberg field to display the size you want shown at your price instruction. If you do not set a display size, the algo will optimize a display size. Upon getting filled, it sends out the next piece until completion.
For large sized orders use Blockfinder to define a price/size at which you're willing to potentially move a large block while still working the algo.
