End of Day Order
An end-of-day order is a buy or sell order that remains active only until the end of the current trading session. If the order is not filled by market close, it is automatically cancelled.
Example
“The trader placed an end-of-day limit order to buy AAPL at $170, but the stock only dipped to $171.50 before the closing bell, so the order expired unfilled and was automatically cancelled.”
