I’m very new to investing and I’m trying to understand the basics.
If I want to buy a stock priced at $5/share, and I place a market order, the way I understand it is that I will buy from someone who is selling the stock at the market price. But what if no one is selling at $5, but someone out there has a limit sell order to execute if the stock ever gets to $100.
What’s to stop my order from executing at $100 instead of $5?
