Limit order
Buy or sell order with price limit.
There are two types of buy or sell orders: Market orders or limit orders. Market orders are executed at the next possible price. For buy orders this is also called "cheapest", for sell orders "best".
With limit orders, on the other hand, market participants set a maximum price at which they are willing to buy or a specific minimum price at which they will sell.
Our glossary explains important financial terms and should not leave any questions unanswered. However, if you are missing a definition, please write to us at redaktion@deutsche-boerse.com. We will then include the term if possible.
