If your buy order remained active for 7 days and then expired without execution, the most common reasons are:
See lessNo matching seller at your price
You placed a limit buy order.
Sellers were not willing to sell at the price you specified.
After 7 days, the order automatically expired.
Insufficient liquidity
Some Nigerian stocks trade very infrequently.
Even if buyers exist, there may not have been enough sellers during the validity period.
Price movement
If the market price moved above your bid price and stayed there, your order would remain unfilled until expiry.
Broker/platform processing issue
Less common, but possible.
Usually the broker should notify you if there was a system or compliance issue.
The valuation statement you received actually suggests that:
Your cash was safe.
No shares were purchased.
Your CSCS account was not credited because no trade occurred.
The order simply expired unexecuted.
To know the exact reason, check:
Which stock was it?
What price did you bid?
What was the market price during those 7 days?
You can also reply to the broker’s email with something like:
“My order expired after 7 days without execution. Kindly confirm whether the order failed due to lack of sellers, my bid price being below market price, or any other reason.”
