Pending Order

An order set to trigger later at a price you choose.

A pending order is any order set to trigger later at a price you choose, rather than filling now. It includes limit and stop orders. Pending orders let you plan entries in advance and step away, so you do not have to watch the screen constantly.

Example

A buy-stop pending order at 1.1100 fills only if price rises to that level.
