Sell Limit Order Definition

A sell limit order is an instruction to sell an asset at a specified price or higher.

What is a Sell Limit Order?

The order only executes at the limit price or better, giving the trader control over the minimum acceptable sale price.

It will not fill if the market never reaches the specified level.

Placing a sell limit order at $70 for a stock trading at $65 means the order only fills if price rises to $70 or above.
