Key Points:

• Execution: Immediate at the current market price.
• Use Case: Ideal for entering or exiting the market quickly.

Limit Orders

A Limit Order is set to execute at a specified price or better. This type of order ensures the price but does not guarantee execution.

Key Points:

• Execution: Only at the specified price or better.
• Use Case: Useful for buying below the market price or selling above it.

Stop Loss Orders

Stop Loss Orders are designed to limit an investor's loss on a position by triggering a sale when the market price reaches a certain level.

Key Points:

• Execution: Triggers when a specified price is reached, converting into a market order.
• Use Case: Helps manage risk by capping potential losses.

Take Profit Orders

A Take Profit Order allows traders to lock in profits by automatically selling a position when it reaches a predetermined price level.

Key Points:

• Execution: Triggers at a specified profit level.
• Use Case: Secures profits by selling a position at a target price.
