In relation to the stock market , what does Execution mean ?

"Execution" is the process of completing an order to buy or sell securities. Once a trade is executed, it is reported on a Confirmation Report. The settlement which is the payment and transfer of ownership, occurs in the U.S. between 1 day for mutual funds and 5 days with stocks after an order is executed.
