Whether you hold direct registered shares with Air Liquide or your securities account or share savings plan is managed by a financial institution, there are two main ways in which you can place your stock market orders. 

You buy or sell at the current share price: your order has priority, meaning it is executed immediately and in full. No cancellation is possible, you are therefore guaranteed to complete the transaction. 

You buy or sell at a price you have set: the order is conditional on reaching this limit price. It can therefore be partially executed, cancellation is possible provided the order is not fully executed. 

If the share price does not reach the limit you set, the order will not be fulfilled. You do not need to follow share price performance, because the limit you set is fixed for a given period. 

If you hold direct registered shares with Air Liquide, you can place your orders from your Online Shareholder Portal.
