  1. Limit Order

  2. Market Order

  3. Stop-Loss Order

 

Limit Order

An order placed with a brokerage to buy or sell a set number of shares at a specified price or better. Limit orders also allow an investor to limit the length of time an order can be outstanding before being canceled.


Market Order


A market order is an order to buy or sell a stock at the current market price. A broker enters an order as a market order when requested to do so by his or her client. When a market order is placed, it is almost guaranteed that the order will be executed.
A market order is that the price is paid when the order is executed. The price may not always be the same as that presented by a real-time quote service. This often happens when the market is changing very quickly. Placing an order "at the market," especially when it involves a large number of shares, offers a greater chance of getting different prices for different parts of the whole order


Stop-loss Order


A stop loss is an order to buy (or sell) a security once the price of the security A stop loss limit order is an order to buy a security at no more (or sell at no less) than a specified limit price. This gives the trader some control over the price at which the trade is executed, but may prevent the order from being executed.
A stop loss buy limit order can only be executed by the exchange at the limit price or lower. For example, if an investor who is interested in investing in a particular share when the share technically break-outs, at Rs 120 when the market price is at 100 he can place a stop-loss order with the price range of 115 to 120. When the share reaches a price between 115 to 120the stop loss order gets automatically executed within the specified range. Similarly in a stop loss sell order an investor can protect his loss by placing a stop-loss order. For example, if an investor who has invested in a share at Rs 100 can protect his loss by placing the stop loss order. He can place a stop loss order with range of Rs.95-90. When the price reaches 95 and below the order gets executed within the specified range.
