Immediate-or-cancel order (IOC)
A type of option order that gives the trading crowd one opportunity to take the other side of the trade. After announcement, the order is either partially or totally filled with any remaining balance immediately cancelled. An IOC order, considered a type of day order, cannot be used as part of a good-‘til-cancelled order since it is cancelled shortly after being entered. The difference between fill-or-kill (FOK) orders and IOC orders is that an IOC order may be partially executed.
