#OrderTypes101

In the world of crypto trading, choosing the right order type can make all the difference. Here’s a quick breakdown of the most common types and when to use them:

🟢 Market Order

Executes instantly at the best available price.

✅ Use when speed matters more than price—great for high-volume tokens.

⚠️ Downside: You may get slippage in volatile markets.

🟡 Limit Order

Executes only at your chosen price (or better).

✅ Ideal for setting your desired entry or exit point.

⚠️ It won’t fill unless the market reaches your set price.

🔴 Stop-Loss Order

Triggers a market order when the price hits your predefined stop level.

✅ Essential for risk management—protects your capital.

⚠️ May sell at a worse price than expected during sudden crashes.

🔵 Take-Profit Order

Locks in gains by selling when the price hits your target.

✅ Helps automate profit-taking without constant monitoring.

⚠️ Like stop-loss, it executes at market price and can be affected by slippage.
