Alright Crypto Fam! Let's get into the nitty-gritty of trading with #OrderTypes101
Knowing your order types can seriously level up your trading game. 📈
The most basic order is a Market Order.
This is an instruction to buy or sell an asset immediately at the best available current price. It's all about speed and getting your order filled right now. Think of it as saying, "Just get me in (or out)!" 💨
Next up is the Limit Order.
This allows you to set a specific price at which you want to buy or sell. For a buy limit order, your order will only execute if the price drops to or below your set price. For a sell limit order, it will only execute if the price rises to or above your set price. This gives you more control over your entry and exit points. 🎯
Then we have Stop Orders.
A stop order becomes a market order once the price reaches a certain level, known as the 'stop price'. A Stop-Loss Order is used to limit potential losses. You set a price below your purchase price, and if the market drops to that level, your asset is sold.
A Stop-Limit Order is similar, but instead of becoming a market order, once the stop price is reached, it becomes a limit order at your specified limit price. This gives you even more control on the execution price after the stop is triggered.🛡️
