buy order
Command to acquire
A buy order is an instruction to purchase a security or commodity at a specified price or better.
In trading, it contrasts with a sell order.
A limit buy order executes only at or below a set price; a market buy order executes immediately at the current price: She placed a buy order for 500 shares at $42.
