Advantage/disadvantage of using a Fok order?

Haven't used one of these yet and would like some input on it before I go setting it up and it ends up costing me money. I mostly daytrade the small-medium caps.

Sourcing dark liquidity in options - otherwise mostly cons.

What happens if you try to add liquidity? Since it doesn't fill right away does it get cancelled immediately?

 

[ajacobson]

Trying to add liquidity on a maker/taker exchange environment? No, your order wouldn't cancel if not filled immediately, but there are a ton of other things to consider.
Would a FOK cancel if not filled immediately - yes.

What do you mean by that? FOK orders get routed to OTC? Limit orders don't? I presumed only OTC Products like CFDs get filled in OTC.
