I have about 100K sitting on the sidelines in several retirement accounts.
I plan to lump sum invest it soon most likely in an ETF but possibly in some stock.
When I have done this before, it seems I am at the mercy of the price fluctuations of the day the order is fulfilled and I always wonder if there is some trick to locking in a price right away.
TIA

If you’re looking to put a lump some into something, it prob should be for long term hence a daily fluctuation should not matter.

If you have a hard ceiling, place a limit order with your price. Sure, it may not execute immediately, but depending on the stock (volatility), it may. You can always bump your price if you're itching for the trade to execute.
