Pending Order

An order waiting to execute when specific price conditions are met.

Full Definition

Pending orders are instructions to buy or sell at a future price. Types include buy limit, sell limit, buy stop, and sell stop. They allow you to set up trades in advance without watching the market constantly. Pending orders can include stop loss and take profit levels, creating a complete trade setup before execution.
