Limit order: Meaning in Gold Trading
A pending order to buy below or sell above the current price; it fills at your price or better.
I wrote this guide based on how I actually trade gold. No theory — just what works after 10 years.
Key takeaways
- Pending order · Support and resistance
Limit order: A pending order to buy below or sell above the current price; it fills at your price or better.
A buy limit at 4,080 only fills at 4,080 or lower. Limits protect your price but can be missed entirely if the market turns just short of your level.
Example: gold at 4,100, buy limit at 4,085 with stop at 4,075: you risk $10 per ounce only if the pullback comes.
