#OrderTypes101

In crypto trading, order types determine how your trades are executed. The three most common are market orders, limit orders, and stop-limit orders. A market order buys or sells immediately at the current price—fast but risky in volatile markets. A limit order lets you set the price you want to buy or sell at, offering control but no guarantee of execution. Stop-limit orders combine both: once a price hits your trigger, a limit order is placed. Understanding these order types helps you trade smarter, control risk, and avoid unexpected slippage. Mastering them is essential for every trader.
