The order…

Market Price

...has priority over other order types.

Limit Price

...is executed only if the share price reaches the limit price:

  • when buying, share price equal to or below the limit;
  • when selling, share price equal to or above the limit.

It is therefore possible that it will not be executed or will not be fully executed.

Best Price

…is executed at the best available price when it arrives on the market, whether buying or selling.

Market Price

Execution of the order…

Market Price

...is total and immediate when the order arrives on the market.

Limit Price

...can be partial if the quantity of marketable securities is not available at the set limit price.

Best Price

...can be partial if the quantity of marketable securities is not available at this best price.
