Buy Order with Limit Price

For example, if you want to buy the stocks of company 'A' at a price of Rs.300. However the current price of the stock might be higher than your desired price. But you feel that the price of this stock would come down sooner and reach Rs. 300. In such a case, you can place a Buy order with a limit price of Rs. 300. This means that you are instructing the system to buy the stocks of company A, only if the price reaches Rs. 300 or lesser.

So if a Buy Order gets executed with the Limit Price specified, then you could be assured that the actual price at which the stocks are purchased by you will always be either equal to or lesser than the Limit Price specified by you.
