Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but I figure someone here might know:

If I place a buy limit order for say 2000 shares at $1, and it gets partially filled (say 1000 shares) at $1, but following this sale the price goes up so the rest of the order is never filled, what happens? Does the broker just inform you that they weren't able to fill the order? Do you get the partial order?

I guess this will vary with different brokers / what the conditions are you agree too in the fine print somewhere etc., but as a general rule what happens? Just wondering about stuff like brokerage (i.e. do you end up with the same brokerage fee but with half the parcel of shares?).
