If you placed an order that was actually at market price then it should have been executed immediately ie at 0.5 cents.

If you placed an order that was at lower than market price ie 0.4 cents 0.425 cents etc then it will sit in the queue until it is matched by someone willing to sell at that price (effectively a price limit order), you also start out at the back of the queue for the price in question, so you have to wait until those in front of you have there orders filled first of all.

If you did a market price order & it didn't execute then you need to contact your broker & complain because it should have taken place. They will then need to correct the matter for you & carry out the trade at the then market price & they suffer any loss should the buy price now be higher.
