Execution Attributes

TL;DRExecution attributes constrain how an order fills, on top of its type. Darknyx supports a minimum fill size (reject any execution smaller than a threshold) and all-or-none, which is the special case where the threshold equals the full order amount.

Minimum fill size

min_fill_size rejects any single execution smaller than the given amount. A batch may only include the order if it can fill at least min_fill_size of it. Use it to avoid being filled in dust-sized increments, useful when each fill produces a change note you would rather not accumulate.
  • Default 0: any partial fill is acceptable.
  • Set it to a positive value to require executions of at least that size.

All-or-None (AON)

All-or-none is min_fill_size == amount: the order fills completely or not at all in any given batch. Because it is expressed through min_fill_size, an AON order can still rest: a limit order with min_fill_size = amount keeps waiting, batch after batch, until one batch can fill it whole at its price.
This is the resting cousin of FOK: FOK demands whole execution immediately and is dropped otherwise; an AON limit demands whole execution but is patient.
