What is Limit Order?

A pending order to buy below the current market price or sell above the current market price.

Detailed Explanation

Limit orders assume the market will retrace to a better price before continuing its trend. A Buy Limit catches falling knives at support levels, while a Sell Limit catches rallies at resistance levels.

💡 Practical Trading Example

Price is at 1.1000. You place a Buy Limit at 1.0950, expecting a dip before a rally.
