Limit Order

A limit order is an instruction to buy or sell Channel Revenue Tokens (CRTs) at a specified price or better on the GigaStar Secondary Market. Unlike a market order, which executes immediately at the best available price, a limit order gives the Investor control over the execution price but does not guarantee that the trade will be completed.

When placing a limit buy order, the Investor specifies the maximum price they are willing to pay. The order will only execute if a seller offers CRTs at or below that price. When placing a limit sell order, the Investor specifies the minimum price they will accept. The order will only execute if a buyer bids at or above that price.

Limit orders are particularly useful in markets where liquidity may be limited or bid-ask spreads are wide. By setting a specific price, Investors can avoid the risk of paying more than intended (when buying) or receiving less than intended (when selling). This price control is the primary advantage of limit orders over market orders.

However, the tradeoff is that a limit order may not execute at all if the market price never reaches the specified level. A buy limit order set below the current ask price will sit unfilled until a seller is willing to meet that price. Similarly, a sell limit order set above the current bid price will wait until a buyer is willing to pay that amount. In a market with lower trading volume, limit orders may remain pending for extended periods.

Investors should also be aware that limit orders may be partially filled if only some of the available CRTs at the desired price match the order quantity. The specifics of how partial fills are handled depend on the GigaStar Secondary Market's trading rules.

Using limit orders effectively requires understanding current market conditions, recent trading activity, and realistic price expectations for the CRT in question.
