A type of
stock market order you can make with a
broker to
buy or
sell a stock if it's
market price reaches a specified
threshold.
Distinguished from
market order.
For instance, if RHAT is currently trading at 85, I might put in a limit order to sell all my RHAT if its
market price reaches 100.
There is usually a time limit on these orders so that if the threshold
is not reached within a certain time, the order expires. (Brokers tend to
have a maximum time limit, so that unrealistic orders are eventually
flushed out of the system.)
WTF was this a nodeshell?
