Hello,

beginner here, I was searching through the site for the answer, but I couldn't find it.

My question is how can I split/divide traded large amounts into smaller ones?

Like

50 000 or 50K into 10/100/1000 times smaller size 5000/500/50

So my chart doesn't look

13.4k X 9289
11.2K X 18.7K
7628 X 14.2K
120 X 1672
89 X 9

but, instead

134 X 93
112 X 187
76 X 142
1 X 167
0 X 0


I am asking because some of the stocks that I trade are traded 10s millions of shares, and very often you will have 10s of thousands of shares traded at each level, which at times is hard to determine what is a strong net delta because I am used to seeing 300-500 deltas when trading e-minis.

Thanks
