#OrderTypes101 — Because “just winging it” is not a strategy

Ever opened a trade and immediately regretted it? Yeah, we’ve all been there. But here’s the truth: half the battle in crypto trading is just knowing how to place your orders smartly.

Let’s break it down:

🔹 Market Order — You’re basically screaming “I WANT IT NOW!” You’ll get in fast, but might pay more than you thought (thanks slippage 😅).

🔹 Limit Order — “I'll wait for my price.” It’s the patient trader’s go-to. You might miss the move, but at least you’re not overpaying.

🔹 Stop Order — This is your parachute. Sets off a market order once a certain price hits. Use it to avoid disasters when the market nosedives.

🔹 Stop-Limit Order — Precision squad, this one's for you. Great if you want tight control—but if the market skips your limit, your order might not fill. Risky, but worth it in volatile zones.

🔹 OCO (One Cancels the Other) — This is the multitasker’s dream. Place a take-profit and a stop-loss at the same time. One executes, the other vanishes. Chef’s kiss.

🧠 With all the algo trading flying around in 2025, these aren’t just good to know—they’re essential if you want to play this game right.
