ok, I have also found that my broker does not fill the AON order,

they don't like to have to fill the whole thing,

so they put it at the end of the list,

I used to do that when I first started investing,
and my orders NEVER got filled, and the price went
right by it. So, be careful, I never check the box
anymore. BUT, then my broker can fill 10 shares
and charge the commission, which they do sometimes,
by selling me shares THEY hold. But, most of the time,
the rest of the order fills by the end of the day.
You have to be careful of the brokers, they are out
to make $, and have it all set up to take it any legal
way they can. I also don't use stop limit or trailing stop
orders, PC traders can short the mkt and force the sells
then pump it right back up to where it was.
