Limit Orders May Not Execute
Pending limit orders do not guarantee execution even if the price touches or surpasses the order price. The order may remain unopened, and the price may move in the intended direction without the trader entering the market.
[00:29]
Purpose of Limit Orders
Limit orders are used to enter at an exact price or to reduce costs for recurring purchases like Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA). They are not designed to guarantee immediate execution.
[00:43]
Order Book Structure
Execution depends on how the order book is structured. If the order is not filled, it is not a platform scam but a result of the order book's liquidity and matching rules.
