📌 Market vs Limit Orders: Why “Buy Now” Can Be the Worst Choice

Main Points
⏺ Market orders give speed, but you give up price control
⏺ Limit orders give price control, but execution isn’t guaranteed
⏺ This post explains how order type changes slippage and risk

1️⃣ Market — you take liquidity immediately and pay spread + slippage.
2️⃣ Limit — you set a price and wait; if the market never reaches it, you don’t get filled.
3️⃣ Volatility Amplifies Pain — during fast moves, market fills can be far worse than expected.
4️⃣ DEX Parallel — high slippage settings basically turn a swap into “market at any price,” enabling bad execution.
5️⃣ Practical Rule — use limits when price matters more than speed, and don’t chase fills at any cost.

Final Thoughts

Speed isn’t always alpha. Sometimes real risk management is patience and price control.
