easy · Quantitative Finance

What happens to the price of a stock when a very large market order to buy exceeds the available volume at the best ask?

  1. The stock is halted to allow for more sell orders to arrive
  2. The best bid is increased to match the remaining order size
  3. The order is automatically canceled by the exchange
  4. The order 'walks the book', executing at progressively higher prices
