#OrderTypes101 you're new to trading, understanding order types is a must. It’s how you tell the market what to do and when.

A market order buys or sells instantly at the best available price. It’s fast, but you don’t control the exact price.

A limit order lets you set the price. The trade only happens if the market reaches it. More control, but no guarantee it fills.

A stop order triggers a trade once a certain price is hit. Often used to cut losses or lock in gains
