Your stockbroker or brokerage service will always try to buy or sell the specified number of shares in your limit order, but this is not always possible, especially if your limit order is for a large number of shares. Investors can prevent their limit order from being split by designating it as a "fill or kill" order. This requires all the shares in your limit order to be bought or sold, or the limit order is canceled. You would then have to place your limit order again if you want the same terms. Investors also can designate limit orders as "all or none." This prevents the limit order from being split but keeps the limit order active in case the stock price reaches your limit order price again. Keeping your entire order intact saves on fees. A split order can be treated as two different transactions. [links]

Investors use buy limit orders to avoid spending more than they want for a fast-moving stock. With a market order, you can order a buy only to find that the stock price skyrocketed in the lag time between your order and the actual execution of the buy. This happens quite often with initial public offerings. Buy limit orders also are used by investors looking for a good deal on a stock. The investor places a limit order for the desired price and waits for the price to drop. Investors use sell limit orders to prevent their stocks from selling below a desired price. more

To place a limit order, you must give a specific instruction to your stockbroker or stock trading service. The limit order must specify the stock to buy or sell, the number of shares, the limit price of the stock and when to cancel the order if the limit price is not reached. For a buy limit order, the stockbroker or brokerage service will purchase the stock when the price falls to or below the limit price. For a sell limit order, the stockbroker or brokerage service will sell the stock when the price rises to or above the limit price. more

A limit order is an instruction to a stock broker or brokerage service to either buy or sell a stock at a specified price. If the limit order is for a stock purchase, the price can be lower than the specified price for the trade to occur. If the limit order is for a stock sale, the price can be higher. This is different from a market order that is an instruction to buy or sell a stock at the current market price. The purpose of a limit order is to restrict the risk of a sudden price fluctuation while investing in the stock market.

[TopSoil]

Just because you place a limit order to buy or sell a stock at a specified price, it does not mean you will get the stock at that price. It may simply never get to that price, so your order sits unfilled indefinitely. If the stock is extremely volatile, the price can fluctuate so quickly that there is not enough time to fill your limit order before the price returns to an unacceptable level.

An advantage of a negotiated sale is that it allows the issuer to build good faith, trust and a relationship with the potential buyer. If the offer meets the purchase price expectations and terms of the issuer, they don't have to spend time entertaining other offers. Additionally, the issuer is under no obligation to proceed with the negotiated sale if it does not meet their expectations.

In the fixed-income arena, a negotiated sale is a method of offering municipal bonds, or similar financial instruments, where the issuing entity and a selected underwriter negotiate the terms of the issue, as opposed to having multiple underwriting groups competitively bidding on the issue to establish its terms. The main benefits of a negotiated sale are: more

A negotiated sale is when the issuer and a few buyers negotiate the terms of a transaction (municipal bonds) in lieu of competitive bidding.

In a negotiated sale, the underwriter, selected by the issuing entity before the sale date, will perform the financing for the issue. Lower quality issues generally reap the most significant benefit from this type of underwriting technique as the underwriter works with the company to sell the offering to the marketplace. When the underwriter and the issuer work together to explain the offer clearly, they will often receive a better rate in the market for the issuer. Negotiated sales allow for greater flexibility as to when the issue is released so that it can be better timed in the market to get the best rate. [links]

In a negotiated sale, some of the primary points to work out for an issuer are the interest rate, call features and purchase price of the issue. The sale of a new issue of securities in this manner is also known as a negotiated underwriting. The primary value of a negotiated sale is that, of the limited pool potential buyers, there is usually only one interested party with a high probability of consummating the deal. Negotiated sales are usually initiated by:

A major disadvantage of negotiated sales is that an issuer's negotiating power is diminished as the buyers know that there isn't much in the way of competition. Essentially, a buyer may try squeeze the issuer, which is why it is is incumbent upon issuers to make sure they are getting the best possible price. here

But by 2015, Groupon’s stock value had dropped by 86%. Many other daily deal flash websites shared in Groupon’s troubles: their reaction was to downsize, go out of business, or alter their flash sales model.

You don’t want to undercut future sales — but unless you sell high-priced luxury goods, your basic discount just isn’t gonna cut it. These days, people often expect a discount just to sign up for a mailing list. here

A great flash sales combines great merchandise with a great discount. But even the best flash deal will fail if no one knows about it. [links]

Once the price drops below $29.90 your stop-loss market order will seek out anyone willing to buy at $29.90 or below. Since the nearest buyer is at $29.60, that is where your stop-loss market order will fill. In this case, you were only expecting to lose 10 cents per share but instead lost 40 cents. This is called slippage, and it's a common issue with any type of market order.   more

A sell-stop order will be placed below the current market level to prevent too much loss on a sale, while a buy-stop order will be placed above the current market level to grab a stock before it becomes too expensive.

However, that only works if the price comes back to the stop-limit order price. If the price keeps going the wrong way, using a stop-limit order won't get you out of the trade, and the loss on the trade will mount. In the above example, if the price drops to $25 without filling your stop-limit order, and then keeps dropping, then you may face indefinite losses.

[denger]

For example, assume you buy a stock at $27 and place a stop-loss limit order with a stop at $26.50 and a limit at $26. This means that the stop order will become active if the price drops below $26.50 and will sell as long as the market is above $26. [links]
