#OrderTypes101
Understanding different order types is key to smarter trading. A market order executes instantly at current prices, perfect for quick entries or exits. A limit order lets you set a specific price—ideal for buying low or selling high. Use a stop-loss to protect yourself from big losses, and a stop-limit to add control. For more advanced traders, trailing stops follow market movements to lock in profits. Knowing when and how to use each order type helps manage risk and improve results. Don’t just trade—trade smart.
