#OrderTypes101
⸻
🔹 Market Order
👉 Buy or sell immediately at the best available price on the market.
✅ Executes quickly
❌ You might pay a higher price (or sell at a lower price) if liquidity is low
📌 Use when speed is more important than a precise price.
🔹 2. Limit Order
👉 You set the exact price at which you want to buy or sell.
✅ You have complete control over the price
❌ The order might never be executed if the market doesn't reach that price
📌 Great for patient traders who are waiting for a good opportunity.
🔹 3. Stop-Loss Order
👉 Automatically sells your position when the price falls to a certain level.
✅ Protects you from big losses
❌ Can be triggered by a short-term 'wick' (price spike)
📌 Used to control risk - every trader's best friend.
🔹 4. Take-Profit Order
👉 Automatically closes the position when you reach the desired profit.
✅ You lock in profit
❌ If you don't reach the target price, you don't sell
📌 Used to exit a position when you are satisfied with the earnings.
🔹 5. Stop-Limit Order
👉 A combination of stop-loss and limit orders: when the 'stop' price is reached, a limit order is automatically placed.
📌 A more advanced option for more precise risk management and entry/exit.
💡 Understanding orders helps you trade smarter, calmer, and without impulsive decisions.
