What is the limit order?
A limit order is a type of order that we can place in the financial markets, which allows us to buy or sell financial assets at a special price that we can pre-determine.
(Explained in detail in the video)
A buy limit order would be placed by specifying a price level below the current market price. A sell limit order would be placed by specifying a price level above the current market price.

Once the price reaches the specified level, the order will be executed.
