#OrderTypes101 Order Types 101: Navigating Crypto Trades
Understanding order types is crucial for effective crypto trading.
A #MarketOrder executes instantly at the best available price, prioritizing speed.
Conversely, a #LimitOrder lets you set a specific buy or sell price, guaranteeing execution at or better than your desired rate, though it might not fill if the market doesn't reach your price.
For risk management, #StopLoss orders automatically trigger a market sell if price drops to a set point, limiting potential losses. A more refined approach is the #StopLimitOrder, which becomes a limit order when your stop price is hit, offering price control.
Finally, a #TrailingStop order dynamically adjusts your stop price as the market moves favorably, securing profits while protecting against reversals. Choose wisely based on your strategy!
