Question

You own 500 shares of ABC stock. The stock has been declining in price and is now selling for $30 a share. You decide to sell all your shares and place a limit sell order at a price of $30 a share. When you order reaches the trading desk, the market price has declined to $29 a share. The next day the price falls to $18 a share. What is the status of your order

Answer 1

The order has not yet been executed which means you still own 500 share

Step-by-step explanation:

The status of your order is that the order has not yet been executed which means you still own 500 share because despite that you own the 500 shares of ABC stock in which the stock has been declining in price but now sells for $30 per share in which you wanted to sell all the shares thereby placing a limit sell order at a price of $30 per share but the shares continue to decline from $30 per share to $29 per share to $18 per share, their wont be any cause for alarm because the order has not yet been executed which means that the 500 shares is still in your custody.
