In this paper, we consider equations involving the fully nonlinear fractional order operator with homogeneous Dirichlet condition:
$ \begin{cases} F_\alpha(u)(x) = f(x,u,\nabla u) \ \mbox{in} \ \Omega,\\ u>0, \ \mbox{in}\ \Omega; \ u\equiv0, \ \mbox{in}\ \mathbb R^n\backslash\Omega, \end{cases} $
where
$ \Omega $
 is a domain(bounded or unbounded) in
$ \mathbb R^n $
 which is convex in
$ x_1- $
direction. By using some ideas of maximum principle, we prove that the solution is strictly increasing in
$ x_1- $
direction in the left half of
$ \Omega $
. Symmetry of solution is also proved. Meanwhile we obtain a Liouville type theorem on the half space
$ \mathbb R^n_+ $
.
Keywords: Fully nonlinear equation, moving plane method, symmetric.
