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.
The difference from a limit order is that in both situations a stop order refers to a situation where you want to limit the loss you will incur in a certain transaction. In a selling situation, where you already hold the share, a stop order is instructing the broker to sell the share at the stop price or lower. In this way you care minimizing your loss on the sale of the share, as opposed to a limit order where you are setting a higher price where you want to lock in your profit.
