Order Types 101 Summary (100 words):

Order types define how trades are executed in financial markets. The most common are market orders, which buy or sell instantly at the best available price, and limit orders, which set a specific price to buy or sell, executing only when the market hits that price. Stop orders (or stop-loss) trigger a market order once a set price is reached, useful for minimizing losses. Stop-limit orders combine stop and limit features. Trailing stops adjust automatically as the price moves in a favorable direction. Understanding order types helps traders manage risk, control execution, and align trades with their strategies.
