i place a trade, a limit order on a thinly traded stock. i want to buy 1000 shares at $10. the current price is $10.50. someone places a market order for 500 shares. another trader has a limit order for $10.10 for 400 shares. his order fills, and i get 100 at my price. i wait another day to see if i get any more shares. this is just an example of how it can work. i can place my order as "all or none" if i wish to avoid this.
