Order: An instruction given by a client to buy or sell a security, specifying details such as quantity, price, and validity.
Placed by the client: The client decides what to trade and gives this instruction to the broker.
Sent to the exchange: The broker forwards the order to the stock exchange (such as NSE or BSE) through the trading system.
What is Execution?
Execution: The actual completion of a trade, which happens only when a matching buyer and seller are found in the market.
