#OrderTypes101 Ever placed a market order and saw a different execution price than expected? That’s because market orders prioritize speed, not precision. On the other hand, limit orders give you control—you choose your price, and the trade only happens if the market matches it. Then there’s the stop-limit order, perfect for setting safety nets or entry strategies. Don’t forget OCO (One Cancels the Other), which lets you set a profit target and stop-loss in one move. Mastering these order types can help you trade smarter, not harder. Know your tools before diving in.
