Limit Orders

Limit orders are open orders which will be executed (filled/ partially filled) when the market trades at the price level specified by you.

Say the Yes shares in a market are trading at 45c right now, but you want to buy them at 43c per share. You can open a limit order at price level 43c, specifying how many shares you want to buy. Whenever someone is willing to sell Yes shares at 43c, your limit order will be executed.

Your order might be completely filled or partially filled, depending on how many shares other people are willing to sell at your desides price level. In case of a partial fill, the remaining quantity still remains as open order which can later be filled by other traders.
