#OrderTypes101 Let's break down the different types of orders in trading:

*1. Market Order*

- Buy or sell a security at the current market price.

- Executed immediately, but price may vary due to market fluctuations.

*2. Limit Order*

- Buy or sell a security at a specific price (limit price) or better.

- May not be executed if market price doesn't reach the limit price.

*3. Stop-Loss Order*

- Sell a security when it falls to a certain price (stop price) to limit losses.

- Can help manage risk and protect profits.

*4. Stop-Limit Order*

- Combination of stop-loss and limit orders.

- When the stop price is reached, a limit order is triggered.

*5. Take-Profit Order*

- Close a position when a certain profit level is reached.

- Helps lock in profits and manage risk.

*6. Trailing Stop Order*

- Adjusts the stop price based on market movement.
