#OrderTypes101 In cryptocurrency trading, there are different **types of orders** that allow you to execute trades with greater control and strategy. Here are the main ones:
1. Basic Orders
Market Order
What it does: Buys or sells at the current market price.
Limit Order
What it does: Buys or sells only at the price you choose (or better).
Advantage: Total control over entry/exit price.
Disadvantage: Does not execute if the market does not reach your price.
Advanced Orders
Stop-Loss
What it does: Sells automatically if the price drops to a certain level (to limit losses).
Example: You buy ETH at $3,500 and set a Stop-Loss at $3,300 to minimize losses.
Take-Profit
What it does: Sells automatically when the price rises to your profit target.
Example: You buy ETH at $3,000 and set a Take-Profit at $3,500 to secure profits.
Stop-Limit Order
What it does: Combines Stop + Limit. First, it activates with a Stop, then executes a limit order.
