Limit Order

A limit order sets the maximum or minimum price at which you are willing to buy or sell, and it will only be executed when the market price matches your order price (or better). As a result, you may able to buy or sell at a price that is better than the current market price by using limit order.

How to use limit order?

When you are not in rush executing your order, you may consider using limit order. Unlike market order, limit order won't be executed immediately, so you need to wait until your order being matched by the market. Your orders may be treated as the support or resistance level when being displayed on the order book. Thus you can consider to divide your order.
