#OrderTypes101 The most basic is the market order, which buys or sells instantly at the current price—great for speed but can suffer from slippage in volatile markets. A limit order lets you set the price you’re willing to buy or sell at, giving you more control, but it won’t execute unless the market reaches your price. Stop-loss orders automatically sell your crypto if the price falls to a certain level, helping you manage risk. Take-profit orders do the opposite—they lock in gains once a target is hit. Many platforms also offer OCO (One-Cancels-the-Other) orders, combining stop-loss and take-profit into one.
