Module 2 — Order types in practice
Choose between market, limit, stop-loss and take-profit orders, and know what each one does not guarantee.
Lesson 1 of 2 · 11 min
OBJECTIVE
Market or limit: speed or price
A market order buys or sells now at the best prices available. A limit order sets the worst price you accept and may never be filled.
LEARNING VISUAL
Learning diagram: Market or limit: speed or price
Concrete example
Limit buy at 0.95 while the price is 1.00: it is filled only if sellers come down to 0.95. If the price rises to 1.20 instead, you hold no position and lose nothing, but you missed the move.
Practical checklist
- Decide whether speed or price matters more
- Set a limit price you can justify
- Accept that a limit order may not be filled
