๐ฏ Understand how to control your trades like a pro!
๐น 1. Market Order โ Fast but No Control on Price
What it is:
You buy or sell immediately at the best available price.
When to use:
You want to enter/exit a position quickly
Speed is more important than price
Example:
BTC price = $30,000
You place a market buy โ You get BTC instantly at the current market price.
โ ๏ธ Note: Might face slippage in low-liquidity coins.
๐น 2. Limit Order โ You Choose the Price
What it is:
You set a specific price at which you want to buy or sell. Order only executes if price hits that level.
When to use:
You want better entry/exit prices
Youโre okay waiting
Example:
BTC price = $30,000
You place a buy limit order at $29,000 โ Order executes only if BTC drops to $29,000.
โ Benefit: No slippage, full price control
โณ Downside: May never get filled if price doesnโt reach.
๐น 3. Stop-Loss Order โ Risk Management Tool
What it is:
An order that automatically sells your crypto if the price drops to a certain level โ to limit your losses.
When to use:
To protect against major price drops
Especially in volatile markets
Example:
You buy BTC at $30,000
You set stop-loss at $28,000 โ If BTC hits $28K, it auto-sells to cut your loss.
๐จ Must-have for every serious trader!
๐น 4. Take-Profit Order โ Secure Your Gains
What it is:
An order that sells your crypto automatically when price hits your target profit level.
When to use:
When you have a target exit point
To avoid emotional decisions
Example:
You buy ETH at $2,000
Set take-profit at $2,300 โ If ETH hits $2.3K, your order executes and locks in profit.
