Market Orders vs Limit Orders

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Market Order (Instant Trade)

  • Executes immediately at the best available price

  • Fast, but price may change slightly (slippage)
    ​

Limit Order (Set Your Price)

  • Lets you choose the exact price you want

  • Full price control

  • May take longer to fill


Which Should You Use?

  • Use Market Orders if speed matters more than price

  • Use Limit Orders if you want better pricing and control
    ​

Beginner Tip:

Start with small limit orders to understand how the market behaves.
