Let's say that multiple people have put an order on the market at the same price. What determines who gets the lowest priced goods, or the order of receiving the goods in general?

Another example, at different order prices, I want business tech at $2,000 and someone already has an order on the market at $1,800, so I place my order for tech at $2,000 and it becomes active. Tech then becomes available for sale at $1,700. Who gets that tech first and why?

sales are first in first out now so nice and simple

they used to be first in last out a long time ago which made it tricky


orders are a bit more complex but its also basically first in first out

in your example the other guy would get it since his order was up first

yeah a bit like that you said.

If an order exists above the price then you are all in and it depends on the order given goods.

1 - $1700
2 - $1800
3 - $1800
4 - $2000

Some hits at $1700, it goes to the first, then say more at $1700 it will go to number 2, and then number 3, but if some at $2000 comes on before then #4 will go to the end of the list because it "received" some goods.

So it's not necessarily who put their order in first, but who received part of their order most recently?
