Hello I put a buy limit order on HTZ of 5,000 shares @1.1421 but it executed @2.8023. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/trading212/original/2X/3/3dc3d4a6290fdc8acfc28cea250ed4ea4630562f.jpeg) ---

Well on your screenshot it states Stop order. 🤔 ---

Wich means it should’ve executed at 1.1421. It could’ve also canceled the order because it was nearly 150% above the order price. ---

It looks to be correct to me. The app only shows the bid so I can imagine the ask was 2.80 A stop is a trigger point to create a market buy. It triggered 1.1421 due to the gap up, and said give me your best price which was 2.80 2.80 would have been ace to go short. ![Screenshot_20201016-154656](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/trading212/original/2X/5/5f1ddb8281a1e029f42895954f04025781bfa7ab.png) ---

However OP claims to have set Limit order. If indeed Stop Limit was used , limit would prevent buying at 2.8. Thus it seems order was Stop order. ---

What’s the difference between limit and stop? ---

A stop is a trigger for a market order (give me the best) A stop limit is a trigger for a limit order (give me this or better, or don’t execute). Your order looks to have been a stop, which converts to a market buy which it did on open. A normal limit buy order would have probably been preferable. If you hadn’t been caught on a gap up then a stop of 1.1421 would get you around that if the action was moving slowly. ---

It didn’t give me a option to choose between stop and stop limit. I assumed it was stop limit. ---

How not? You have Market / Limit / Stop / Stop Limit orders when on Invest/ISA account. By data shown here, you choose Stop order. Thus nothing executed wrong. Just a honest mistake. If you intended Limit order. ---

I trade on CFD. It was just my mistake and I learned from it.
