    it takes shares off the displayed size (autex like an ecn), but won't work:

    - over 1000 shares

    - if the spec already gave the shares away but didn't update the size

It is supposed to be instantaneous, but a lot of times these pricks will freeze the book, ignore your NX and give you no fill. most of the times it works, though, but it really pisses me off when my NX is ignored.
