Market order will get filled right away.
Limit order will get filled right away if the limit is the ask price.

1000 shares of goog you'll get probably all 100 to 200 share orders.many times on 100 shares you get a partial. aapl is thick so you should get many of the 1000 hits but it moves so fast you'll get some partials
