What are Limit Orders?

Limit orders are open trades that only execute when the market reaches the price you set.

For example, if the most you want to buy NO at 72 cents on Will the Iranian regime fall by August 31? market, but the current price is 74 cents, you can place a limit order at 72 cents and wait until another trader is willing to sell at that price.
