#OrderTypes101 "" is a fundamental guide to the different ways you can buy and sell assets (like stocks, crypto, or commodities) in financial markets. It explains the purpose, function, and best use cases for common trading instructions you give to your broker or exchange.

Essentially, it's about:

* Market Order: Buy/sell immediately at the current best price.

* Limit Order: Buy/sell only at a specific price you choose, or better.

* Stop Order (Stop-Loss): Automatically triggers a buy/sell when a certain price is reached, typically to limit losses.

* Stop-Limit Order: A stop order that, when triggered, places a limit order instead of a market order, offering more price control.

* Trailing Stop Order: A dynamic stop order that adjusts as the price moves in your favor, helping to secure profits.

* OCO (One-Cancels-the-Other): Places two orders (e.g., a take-profit and a stop-loss) where if one executes, the other is canceled.

Understanding these allows traders to control their entry/exit points, manage risk, and automate their strategies.
