Imagine you're shopping online and you see a shirt you really want, but it's a little expensive. You can place a limit order, which is like telling the store, "I'll only buy the shirt if the price goes down to $10 or less." A limit order lets you set the price you're willing to pay for a stock or cryptocurrency. Your order will only be filled if the price reaches your limit or goes even lower. It's a way to get what you want at a price you're comfortable with.
