A limit order is an order to buy or sell a stock at a specific price or better. Therefore, a buy limit order can only be executed at the limit price or lower, and a sell limit order can only be executed at the limit price or higher.
A limit order is not guaranteed to execute because it stands only for the day and it's possible that the price you specify, for a particular stock, is not reached during the day.
When to use limit order?
The best way to use the limit order facility is when you've decided that you will buy a stock only if it's price touches or goes below the price you want. Conversely, it might be a good idea to use limit order while selling a stock if you expect a certain minimum price for the same.
One of the unique things about the US stock markets is that investors can own fractions of stocks. Unlike in countries like India. So you could own 0.05 of Apple stock. Our brokerage partner DriveWealth allows you to own as low as 0.0001 share of any stock.
And this is great for 2 reasons:
- You don't have to think in terms of "how many shares should I buy?". You can simply decide to invest a certain amount of money and the number of units to be allocated to you gets automatically calculated and would get credited to your account. For instance, if a stock is valued at $27 and you decide to invest $100 in it, you will get 3.70 shares.
- Many popular US stocks are more expensive than typical Indian stocks. While a single Apple stock is valued at over $200 as of this writing, Google costs over $1,000 and Amazon costs more than $2,000. Pepsi, Nike, Coke - all between $100 and $200. As of this writing. So, with fractional stocks you could effectively build a pretty diversified portfolio with small amounts of money.
Stockal is currently available to investors in India and UAE.
We will shortly become available to investors in Canada, United States, Qatar and Oman as well. The other countries on our list are Indonesia, Malaysia and Brazil for now.
