- sending by a computing device a first command to enter a first trade order for a first tradeable object, wherein the first trade order includes an order quantity, wherein the order quantity is based on a definition for a trading strategy, a desired strategy quantity, and market data for a second tradeable object, wherein the trading strategy includes the first tradeable object and the second tradeable object;
detecting by the computing device a decrease in quantity available for the second tradeable object;
determining by the computing device a new quantity based on the definition for the trading strategy and the decrease in quantity available for the second tradeable object; and
sending by the computing device a second command to decrease the order quantity of the first trade order to the new quantity when the decrease in quantity available for the second tradeable object conforms to a decrease parameter.

Abstract
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.
