Suppose a share is trading at 100/-. By mistake I place a limit sell order at 10/- or a limit buy order at 1000/-.
Now I have few queries
1. Will this order get executed at my limit price (as it becomes the best offer price) or at current market price? Are there any checks and balances in the exchange to filter out such obviously erroneous orders?
2. If the trade does get executed at the limit price, are there any chances for me to be able to cancel this order after execution?
3. Are there any precautions that I can take, such as some settings on NOW, which prevents such order entries?
All these are hypothetical queries as thankfully till now I have not made any such mistake. I cant take a risk of actually testing such scenario on NOW as I am not sure of consequences.
Thanks,
Amit

If you put a sell at 10 when market is at 100, then this is as good as the market order, so it will get executed at market price... There is nothing much you can do about it other than being careful that you don't do it...
But if market is at 100 and you place a limit to buy at Rs 10, exchange has circuits on every contract and in this case the order will get frozen...
