Prices, Order Types & Validity

Generally, a limit order is an order to buy or sell at a specific price or better. A buy limit price will be executed at the limit price or any price lower i.e. the highest price you are prepared to buy and a sell limit price will be executed at the limit price or higher i.e. the lowest price you are prepared to sell.

A limit order will not be filled if there are no matching buy or sell orders at the specified limit price or better.

However, any similarly named variant of a limit order may behave differently from a basic limit order (as described above), depending on the rules, regulations and operational procedures of the relevant stock exchange or market in which it is placed.  

HKEX Limit Order is routed to exchange as Enhanced Limit Order (ELO) for orders placed during trading hours.
