buy limit order

An order to execute a transaction at a specified price (the limit) or lower.

A Limit Order (also known as an Or Better Order) indicates that you want to buy or sell a given currency at a specific price or better. For example, you place an order to buy 100,000 euro at 1.0950. The platform will automatically fill your order when the offer reaches 1.0950. Limit orders can be placed to both buy and sell. Usually this type of order is used when price is more important than time.
