All or None
An all or none order is a variation of a limit order that specifies the entire volume of the order must be filled at the chosen price, or it will not be executed at all. Unlike a fill or kill order, which must be executed immediately, an all or none order can remain in the order book until the condition is met.
This ensures that the trader only gets the full intended position size or nothing at all, avoiding the complexity of managing partial fills. It is particularly useful for institutional investors or large traders who require specific lot sizes for accounting or strategy consistency.
However, this type of order may take longer to fill if the liquidity at the specific price is not sufficient at a single moment.
