Imagine you need to buy a small amount of crypto before a deadline, but you also have a strict maximum price.
A market order prioritizes execution against available orders. The final price can slip, especially in a thin order book.
A limit order sets your price boundary. It may fill partly or never fill. Fees still matter with either choice.
You can't order both perfect timing and perfect pricing from the certainty menu.
In this scenario, which constraint would you relax first: the deadline or the price cap, and what would make you change that choice?
