AON (All or None)
A buy or sell order with this designation loses normal order priority if the amount of shares available doesn't match or exceed the order size. There may be some specialized circumstances where it could be useful, such as late in the day on a GTC entry (to avoid a fractional fill such as 100 shares of a 1000 share order, with resulting doubling of total commissions when the rest of the order fills the following morning).

Ask Price (Sell Price)
The quoted ask (offer) at which a market maker is willing to sell a stock. (see Market Maker, Best Ask).


*The term Direct Access refers to the client’s ability to determine which Exchange, ECN or Market Maker receives their order. The term does not mean to imply that you can trade without a broker, as any transaction would require a relationship with a registered Broker-Dealer.

The risk of loss in electronic trading can be substantial, you should therefore consider whether such trading is suitable for you based on your individual circumstances and financial resources. Account access, trade execution and system response may be adversely affected by market conditions, quote delays, system performance and other factors. Extended hours trading entails several risks including lower liquidity, higher volatility, wider spreads, changing prices, unlinked markets, news and announcements.
