Order didn’t execute

Limit orders will only fill at the specified price or a better price 

There may be other situations where orders will fail, and this will be messaged right after trying to place an order (or indicated in the Order Blotter section)

Example:

IF you specify a price to buy a contract that is less than the best bid, 

THEN your buy order won’t execute unless the market moves and the price becomes marketable.
