Order Types 101 (100-word note):
Order types are instructions traders use to buy or sell assets in financial markets. The most common is a market order, which executes immediately at the current price. A limit order sets a specific price, only executing when the market reaches it. A stop order becomes a market order once a set price is hit, while a stop-limit order sets both a trigger and execution price. Trailing stop orders adjust with market movement to lock in profits. Understanding these order types helps traders manage risk, control trade execution, and develop effective strategies in fast-moving markets.
