Is anyone know what it means when MaxShow/MaxFloor is set to 0?

Does it means that whole order is completely hidden from subscribers/whold world?

Thanks.

That’s a good question. I don’t believe the spec has ever defined this case. I suppose a MaxShow/MaxFloor of 0 would imply, as you suggest, that none of the order is to be displayed.

However, just as support of MaxShow/MaxFloor is optional, as well as support of MaxFloor but not MaxShow, one should assume that firms supporting MaxShow/MaxFloor may choose whether they will allow a value of 0 in these fields, or whether specifying 0 will cause the order to be rejected.
