Common order types can be simplified into the following categories, the core logic is easy to understand:
1. Market Order
- Buy/sell directly at the current market price, seeking quick transactions, which may involve price deviation (slippage).
2. Limit Order
- Set your target price, and wait for the market to drop/rise to this price to execute, for example, "buy at 100 yuan" or "sell at 200 yuan".
3. Stop Loss Order
- A protective mechanism to prevent losses from expanding, for example, setting "automatically sell if it drops below 150 yuan" while holding an asset.
4. Take Profit Order
- An order to lock in profits, for example, "automatically sell if it rises to 300 yuan", to avoid profit shrinkage due to price declines.
5. Conditional Order
- A complex combination order that triggers only when multiple conditions are met, for example, "sell at price B if it drops below A".
In summary: Market orders are fast but unpredictable in price, limit orders control the price but may not execute, stop loss/take profit orders manage risk and reward, and conditional orders implement combination strategies.
