A limit order works by allowing you to set a specific price for buying or selling a stock. The order is placed in the market and waits until the price matches your chosen level.
If the market reaches your limit price, the order is executed. If not, the order stays open until it is either fulfilled or cancelled at the end of the trading session.
For example, if you want to buy a stock at a lower price, you can place a limit order. The trade will only happen when the price falls to your set level.
This method helps you control your trades and manage risk. However, you need patience, as the order may not be executed if the market does not move as expected.
