🎯 #OrderTypes101 – Master the Tools of the Trade! 🎯
Knowing how to use different order types can be the difference between a smart trade and a costly mistake. Here's a quick guide for every trader:
1️⃣ Market Order
💥 Buy or sell immediately at the best available price
✅ Fast execution
⚠️ Risk of slippage in volatile markets
2️⃣ Limit Order
📍 Set your price – trade only executes if the market hits it
✅ More control over entry/exit
⚠️ May not fill if price doesn’t reach your level
3️⃣ Stop-Loss Order
🛑 Automatically sells your asset if price drops to a set level
✅ Risk management tool
⚠️ Doesn’t guarantee exact exit price (use Stop-Limit for that)
4️⃣ Stop-Limit Order
🔐 Triggers a limit order once a stop price is hit
✅ Combines protection with precision
⚠️ Might not execute in fast drops
5️⃣ Take-Profit Order
💰 Lock in gains automatically when price hits your target
✅ Ensures profits are realized
⚠️ May miss further upside if price keeps running
