#OrderTypes101
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned trader, understanding order types is the first step to smart trading! Here’s a quick guide:
🔹 1. Market Order
Buy/Sell instantly at the current market price.
✅ Fast execution
⚠️ Slippage possible during high volatility
🔹 2. Limit Order
Set a specific price at which you want to buy/sell.
✅ More control
⏳ May not execute if price isn't reached
🔹 3. Stop-Limit Order
A combo of stop & limit:
👉 Set a trigger price, which places a limit order once hit.
✅ Useful for risk management
🔹 4. Stop Market Order
Similar to stop-limit, but executes as a market order when triggered.
✅ Great for stop-loss strategies
🔹 5. OCO (One Cancels the Other)
Place 2 orders at once (e.g., take profit & stop-loss)
✅ Whichever gets triggered first cancels the other
