#OrderTypes101

Order types are instructions you give when buying or selling assets like stocks or crypto. The most common ones include:

1. Market Order – Buy or sell immediately at the best available price. It's fast but may get a worse price in volatile markets.

2. Limit Order – Set a specific price. It only executes when the market hits that price or better. More control, but no guarantee it’ll fill.

3. Stop Order – Turns into a market order once a certain price is reached. Often used to limit losses.

4. Stop-Limit Order – Like a stop order, but adds a limit price. More control but might not execute.

5. Trailing Stop – Moves with the price, locking in profits as the price rises but selling if it drops by a set amount.

Knowing the right order type helps manage risk, control entry/exit, and trade smarter. Each type fits different strategies, so use what matches your goals.
