📌 Types of Orders in Trading (Order Types 101) 📌
When trading in financial markets, you need to understand the basic types of orders to execute your trades smartly:
1. Market Order
- Immediate execution at the current price.
- Ideal when you want to enter or exit quickly.
2. Limit Order
- Specify a certain price to buy (below market) or sell (above market).
- Guarantees a specific price, but does not guarantee execution.
3. Stop Order
- Becomes a market order when a specified price is reached (like a stop loss).
- Used to limit risk or enter upon breaking resistance.
4. Stop-Limit Order
- A combination of Stop and Limit
- Executes only at a specified price after the Stop is triggered.
5. OCO Order (One Cancels the Other)
- Links two orders (like selling at profit or loss) and cancels one when the other is executed.
