 A market order

The buy order was executed at the price of 20, which is the best available market price. So, the investor would have possibly submitted a market order.

It is not a limit order, because the order got executed at 20. Market to limit order is when the order gets executed at best available market price and the remaining quantity will be resubmitted as a limit order for the previous executed price.
