#OrderTypes101

In crypto trading, there are several main types of orders, each of which serves a specific strategy.

🔹 **Market Order** — buying or selling an asset at the best available price. Executes instantly, ideal for quick trades, but may have 'slippage'.

🔹 **Limit Order** — an order to buy/sell at a specified or better price. Does not execute immediately, but allows for control over the transaction cost.

🔹 **Stop-Loss Order** — protects against significant losses. Activates when the price reaches a certain level and triggers a market or limit order to sell.

🔹 **Take-Profit Order** — locks in profit when the price reaches a specified level.

Understanding the types of orders is key to effective trading. They help manage risks, lock in profits, and avoid emotional decisions.
