A partial fill occurs when only part of your order quantity matches available counterparty orders in the exchange order book. The filled portion becomes an executed trade; the unfilled portion remains as a live order in the book, waiting for matching orders at your limit price.

Partial fills are most common with limit orders in low-liquidity stocks or when the order size is large relative to the available depth at the limit price. They also occur in fast-moving markets where the price moves away from your limit price after a partial match.
