user3577: E.g. if we have this order stock:

SELL 0.5 BTC @ PRICE $72 $/BTC (1)
SELL 3 BTC @ PRICE $75 $/BTC (2)
SELL 0.5 BTC @ PRICE $76 $/BTC (3)

And trying to buy 3.5 bitcoins for a price at $76.5 (higher than available prices). How will Mt.Gox select matching orders? Will it select the cheapest possible lines (1)&(2)? Is this equal to a market order?

user196: Of course it would select the cheaper ones. It's a limit order.
