DEFINITION of 'Limit Order'. An order placed with a brokerage to buy or sell a set number of shares at a specified price or better. Because the limit order is not a market order, it may not be executed if the price set by the investor cannot be met during the period of time in which the order is left open. Limit orders also allow an investor to limit the length of time an order can be outstanding before being canceled. Next Up.
Limit Order vs. Stop Order. When entering a limit order or a stop order it is very important that you understand the distinction, because a buy order at your set price or higher vs. your set price or lower will trigger very different market orders.
