Why did my limit order get executed at market price?

A limit order allows you to buy or sell a stock at the price you have set or a better price.

In other words, if you place a buy limit order, your order will buy the stock at your limit price or a lesser price but not at a higher price. Similarly, a sell limit order will sell the stock at your limit price or at a higher price but not at a lower price.
