Description:

What is an All or None Limit Order? An all or none limit order says the investor wants their order filled entirely or not at all. An investor may request a trade that instructs their broker to buy a specific amount of shares at a certain price; in the case of an all or none order, the investor wants this trade made specifically in that amount at that price. If the broker is unable to do that, the trade should not happen at all.
