Order Types

Limit order: Buy order will be filled maximum at the limit value. Sell orders will be filled minimum at the limit value. e.g. a stock is currently trading at 47,8€. You do not want to pay more than 47,6€. Your order will only be filled at 47,6€ or for a better price (less than 47,6€).

Stop-Market order: If the price of a security reaches or exceeds the value of the stop-market price the order will be an unlimited market order.

Stop-Limit order: Like stop market order but the order will be limit order instead of the market order.
