how to execute a large stock purchase, relative to the order book?
user
i normally just do a buy limit at the price i want to buy it at. then it executes when it's that price or lower, but there's still a chance you might purchase some shares at a larger price. but since we're small fry and using brokerages, there's not much we can do about it.
