Why did my Limit Order get executed at market price?

Last updated on Jun 09, 2025

A limit order is to buy/sell a share at a specific price. It's helpful to trade security at a desired price.

There are 2 reasons why your limit order got executed at CMP (current market price)

  1. The client executed a sell order at a price lower than CMP

  2. The client executed a buy order at a price higher than CMP
