What is a limit order?

A limit order is a type of order placed by an investor to buy or sell a security at a specific price or better. It sets a maximum price for a buy order or a minimum price for a sell order, ensuring that the trade is executed only at the specified price or better. If the market price does not reach the specified limit price, the order may remain unfilled.
