#OrderTypes101 Master the Types of Orders in Trading
Did you know that choosing the right type of order can make a difference in your trades? Here I explain the main types and when to use them:
🔹 Market Order:
Immediate execution at the current price.
Ideal when speed is key, but beware of slippage in volatile markets.
🔹 Limit Order:
Buy/sell at a specific price or better.
Perfect for setting your target price and avoiding surprises.
🔹 Stop-Loss:
Activates as a market order when a "stop" price is reached.
Essential for managing risks and protecting your capital.
🔹 Take-Profit:
Closes your position automatically upon reaching a profit level.
Helps secure profits without constant monitoring.
🔹 Stop-Limit Order:
Combines stop-loss and limit order: activates a limit order upon reaching the stop price.
Greater control, but with the risk of not being executed if the market moves quickly.
