#OrderTypes101
Executes your buy/sell instantly at the best current price.
✅ Fast & simple
❌ May not give the best price
---
🟡 Limit Order
> “Only at this price.”
You set the price — the order fills only if the market reaches it.
✅ Price control
❌ No guarantee it will execute
---
🔴 Stop-Limit Order
> “Protect my profits or cut my losses.”
When the price hits a trigger (stop), your order goes live at your chosen limit.
✅ Ideal for stop-loss/take-profit
❌ Needs careful setup
---
⚫ OCO (One Cancels the Other)
> “Cover both sides, automatically.”
Set both a profit target and a stop-loss at once — if one triggers, the other cancels.
✅ Perfect for auto-risk control
❌ Not beginner-friendly at first
