Aggregation 
 
Process in corporate financial planning whereby the smaller investment proposals of each of the firms
operational units are aggregated and effectively treated as a whole. 
 
Aggressively 
 
Used in context of general equities. For a customer it means working to buy or sell ones stock, with an
emphasis on execution over price. For a trader it means acting in a way that puts the firms capital at higher
risk through paying a higher price, selling cheaper, or making a larger short sale or purchase than the trader
would under normal circumstances. 
 
Aging schedule 
 
A table of accounts receivable broken down into age categories (such as 0-30 days, 30-60 days, and 60-90
days), which is used to determine if customer payments are keeping close to schedule. 
 
Ahead of itself 
 
Used in context of general equities. Refers to equities that are overbought or oversold on a fundamental
basis. 
 
Ahead of you 
 
Used for listed equity securities. At the same price but entered ahead of your order/interest, usually referring
to the specialists book. See: behind, matched orders, priority, stock ahead.

All equity rate 
 
The discount rate that reflects only the business risks of a project, distinct from the effects of financing. 
 
All-in cost 
 
Total costs, explicit and implicit. 
 
All or none order (AON) 
 
Used in context of general equities. A limited price order which is to be executed in its entirety or not at all
(no partial transaction), and thus is testing the strength/conviction of the counterparty. Unlike an F.O.K.
order, an A.O.N. order is not to be treated as cancelled if not executed as soon as it is represented in the
trading crowd, but instead remains alive until executed or cancelled. The making of all or none bids or offers
in stocks is prohibited and the making of all or none bids or offers in bonds is subject to the restrictions of
Rule 61. A.O.N. orders are not shown on the specialists book because they can not be traded in pieces.
Antithesis of any-part-of order. See: F.O.K. order.
