What is a Limit Order, and how do I place one on Lakshmishree?

Limit Order is an order type where the trader sets a specific price at which they wish to buy or sell a stock. The order will only be executed if the market price reaches the specified limit price or best price.

For example, if a stock is trading at ₹100 and a trader wants to buy at ₹80, they can place a limit buy order at ₹80. The order will be executed only when the stock price reaches ₹80 or lower.
