What happens if there are no buyers or sellers for the order I placed?

When an order is placed, it is sent to the stock exchange for execution. However, execution depends on market liquidity:

  • If There Are No Buyers For Your Sell Order, it will remain pending until a buyer is available.
  • If There Are No Sellers For Your Buy Order, it will stay open until a seller is available.
     

Low liquidity stocks, such as penny stocks, may face execution delays or order cancellations.
