#OrderTypes101 How do Market, Limit, Stop-Loss, and Take-Profit orders work?
In trading, mastering the types of orders is key.
🟢 Market Order: executes at the current price. Fast, but with no control over the exact price.
🟡 Limit Order: you decide the price. Executes only if the market reaches it.
🔴 Stop-Loss: your shield. Sells automatically if the price drops, to avoid large losses.
🟩 Take-Profit: locks in profits when your target is reached.
Combining them well is what separates the casual trader from the strategic one.
