how to prevent someone hits me with 1 share?

I am using IB API to send orders, say, 100 shares to buy AAPL. Someone constantly sells me one share each time. I tried to specify minQty=100 in the order class, but it did not work. any solution?

 

What about an AON order

 

ib holds aon order on their server until There are enough shares on ask to hit for me. I want someone hit me with 100 shares.

 

Since commission is $0.00, does it matter?

 

unfortunately with IB API, the commission is 1 dollar even for 1 share since I want to specify exchange instead of using IB smart routing.

 

%%
TRY a good limit or even a market order/rather than miss the move;
since all get paid on volume.
[For sure I dont want $1 commission for one share; I never have gotten a bad fill on a generous limit order]With a real liquid stock like AAPL==that's even worse]

 

You could look into using a FOK (fill or kill) or AON order (all or none).
