#OrderTypes101 **#Ordertypes101: Understanding the Basics of Trading Orders**

When diving into trading, knowing the different order types is crucial for executing your strategy effectively. Here’s a quick breakdown of the most common ones:

1. **Market Order** – Buys or sells immediately at the current market price. Fast but no price control.

2. **Limit Order** – Sets a specific price to buy/sell. Only executes if the market hits your price. Great for control.

3. **Stop Order (Stop-Loss)** – Triggers a market order once a specified price is reached, helping limit losses.

4. **Stop-Limit Order** – Combines stop and limit orders; triggers a limit order after hitting the stop price.

5. **Trailing Stop** – Adjusts the stop price as the market moves, locking in profits while limiting risk.

Each order type serves a unique purpose, whether you're day trading, swing trading, or investing long-term. Understanding these can help you manage risk, secure profits, and avoid costly mistakes.
