Limit orderLimit orderAn order to buy shares up to a maximum price or sell down to a minimum price.For example an investor may place a limit order to buy shares at £12 where the current price is say £15 and falling. If the price levels at £13 and goes up again the order would not be placed. If the price fell to £12 or below, the investor's order would be placed and the maximum he/she would pay would be £12.
