An abbreviated form for minimum acceptable quantity order; a designation on an order that means at least a minimum amount of securities as compared to a full order size must be filled by the trader or broker. Otherwise, the order will not be routed via an exchange or venue. This type of order is not displayed in the market because it needs special handling and the trader does not seek a partial execution.
It is also referred to as an all-or-none order (AON order).
