    Let me give you an example of a sell limit order in the context of cryptocurrency trading. Imagine you own 5 Ethereum and you want to sell them when the price reaches $3,000. You can place a sell limit order with a limit price of $3,000. If the market price of Ethereum reaches or exceeds $3,000, your sell limit order will be executed and your Ethereum will be sold. However, if the market price never reaches $3,000 or there are not enough buyers at that price, your order may not get executed. It's important to set a realistic limit price and consider the current market conditions when placing a sell limit order.
