#OrderTypes101
Tools of a Thoughtful Trader
Trading isn’t just about entering and exiting positions — it’s about managing risk with intent. For me, as a trader who starts every morning with both charts and central bank headlines, choosing the right order type is just as important as reading the news.
☕ Whether it’s inflation data, rate decisions, or oil supply shocks — order types are how I respond, not react.
🔹 Market Order
Perfect for fast-moving markets — like post-CPI or NFP volatility.
→ I use it when I need to be in now, especially when a breakout is confirmed by fundamentals.
⚠️ But yes… slippage can hurt if you’re not careful.
