Limit order: price over speed

Lesson 5 of 10 in Order Types. Trader grade, 70 XP. Free to read, mission runs live in the terminal.

» A limit order says: only fill me at my price or better — never worse.

» You might not get filled at all if price never comes to you. That's the trade-off.

» Limits protect you from bad fills. Great for entries you're patient about.

» Set a limit below the current price in the sim and watch it sit until it hits.

Watching a concept is not the same as running it, so every Academy lesson ships with a live mission inside the Tapeboard terminal. This one runs on the paper trading simulator (/simulator). Reading is free; running missions takes a free account.
