WHAT IS A LIMIT ORDER?
Limit orders are placed when you are only willing to enter a new position at a specific price. The order will only be filled if the market trades at that price. A buy-limit order is an instruction to buy the currency pair at the market price once the market reaches your specified price or lower; that price must be lower than the current market price. A sell-limit order is an instruction to sell the currency pair at the market price once the market reaches your specified price or higher; that price must be higher than the current market price.
