- Limit orders require a limit (generally a stock price) to trigger a purchase or sale
- All or none transactions are not completed unless you can get all the shares you requested
- Immediate or cancel orders only go through if the transaction can occur immediately
- Good til canceled orders remain open until you choose to close them
Step 4: Execute your trade.
After executing any trade, you should check your brokerage account for a change in balance or shares owned. Ensure that your account accurately reflects the transaction you planned and reach out to the broker if there are any issues. You can move on to your next trade in moments.
