| Filling The Gap |
|
| Due to developments after market close and overnight, a stock price can change by a greater degree than usually happens throughout a trading day. This creates a gap that, once trading resumes the following morning, gradually diminishes with normal market activity, returning the stock to its level from the previous day. The adjustment is called filling the gap. |

| FOK, 'fill or kill' |
|
| This means do it now if the stock is available in the crowd or from the specialist, otherwise kill the order altogether. I never have found a situation to make use of that designation. |
