#OrderTypes101
1. 🟢 Market Order

Definition: An order to buy or sell immediately at the current market price.

✅ Use when: Speed is more important than price.

❌ Downside: May suffer from slippage if the market is volatile.

Example: “Buy 1 BTC now” → Filled instantly at the best available price.

---

2. 🔵 Limit Order

Definition: An order to buy or sell at a specific price or better.

✅ Use when: You want control over price.

❌ Downside: May not execute if the market doesn’t reach your limit price.

Example: “Buy 1 BTC at $65,000” → Order waits until price drops to $65,000.

---

3. 🔴 Stop-Loss Order

Definition: An order to sell (or buy) once a certain price is triggered, to limit losses.

✅ Use when: You want to exit a losing trade automatically.

❌ Downside: In highly volatile markets, it may execute at a worse price than expected.

Example: Bought ETH at $3,000 → Place stop-loss at $2,800.

---

4. 🟠 Stop-Limit Order

Definition: A combination of stop-loss and limit. When the stop price is hit, a limit order is placed.

✅ More control over execution price.

❌ May not fill if the price moves past your limit.

Example: Stop price = $2,800, limit = $2,790 → Sell ETH only between those prices.

---

5. 🟣 Take-Profit Order

Definition: Automatically closes a position in profit once the price reaches a specified level.

✅ Locks in profits.

❌ Like stop orders, may not always execute at the exact price.

Example: Bought BTC at $60,000 → Take profit at $70,000.
