#OrderTypes101
🎯 The School of Life with 4 Secret Weapons 🎯
"If crypto trading is a battle, orders are the weapons. Sometimes you're Rambo, other times Coyote in front of the train."
🔫 The 4 Basic Weapons:
1. MARKET ORDER: You buy/sell NOW at the market price.
- '+' Fast as a bullet.
- '–' You can shoot yourself in the foot if there is high volatility.
2. LIMIT ORDER: You set YOUR price ("I will only buy at $10!").
- '+' You control the entry.
- '–' If the market goes ahead of you, you are left out.
3. STOP-LOSS: AUTOMATIC sale when the price reaches X ("get rid of debts!").
- '+' Saves the portfolio when the bear comes.
- '–' Sometimes it triggers accidentally (aka "stop hunt").
4. TAKE-PROFIT: AUTOMATIC sale when you reach your target profit ("take the money and run!").
- '+' You crystallize your gains.
- '–' You might stop marching 1km before the finish line.
💥 Final Joke:
"Use LIMIT when you're an economist, MARKET when you're desperate, STOP-LOSS when you're anxious, and TAKE-PROFIT when you're smart. And if you mix them all up, you're a professional trader… or a psychiatrist."*
⚠️ Without orders, you are at the mercy of wolves. With them, you can be the wolf.
