I suspected that showing my full size size might tip my hand and have other traders jump in front - glad to see you thought the same. It's one of the reasons why I asked the question in the first place. Appreciate you sharing your experience with us!
Sometimes on strikes that are just slightly closer to the money you see (market makers/bots/algos???) camped on a strike with large size. That made me think if I showed large size other traders might think I was a MM/bot/algo so I might be able to get away with showing full size.
Will experiment around to find what is most suitable for my style of trading.

Actually prices are better today for selling, so this time good thing you missed it.
Coffee is up on short covering. Total futures OI has barely moved. So shorts getting out and new shorts selling at these inflated numbers. That is why I'm not worried about it getting too high.
Last DCOT futures only report had specs net short 27k.
Futures are up because a cold front is moving through the coffee region in Brazil on Monday. Tuesday AM is predicted to get down to 34 degrees. Then warmer temps will follow. 10 Day Weather Forecast for Pocos de Caldas - weather.com
The hard part is knowing if today is the high or will Friday have more short covering. I'm guessing it will. I should have figured that out before my trade alert yesterday.
But the weather forecast could change today or tomorrow and not show as cold temps. Who knows.
Yes i woke up to a nasty little surprise with my Sept and Oct coffee calls. Bugger i only sold the Oct calls early in the week too. I am thinking about adding to my Oct calls further out of the money than i was able to do earlier in the week.
