#OrderTypes101
Binance offers several order types to accommodate different trading strategies. In spot trading, key types include:
Market orders, which execute instantly at current prices.
Limit orders, allowing users to set a specific buy/sell price.
Stop-limit orders, where a stop price triggers a limit order.
Stop-market orders, triggering a market order when the stop price is hit.
OCO (One Cancels the Other) orders, combining a limit and stop-limit order—executing one cancels the other.
Trailing stop orders, which follow the market price by a set percentage and trigger when the price reverses.
For futures trading, Binance adds options like:
Post-only, ensuring your order adds liquidity.
Reduce-only, used to decrease a position size.
Take-profit and take-profit market orders, which close positions at favorable price targets.
These tools allow for precise risk management, automation, and strategy execution across spot and derivatives markets.
