What is Market Order?

A market order is an order that does not specify a price and is filled immediately at the price and quantity currently available on the order book.

• When buying: Typically executed at the best available bid price

 To sell: Typically executed at the best available bid price

 

 

Features

 

1.  Instant order execution

Ideal when you want to quickly execute a trade at a price level close to the current price.

 

2. Taker orders

Executes against the best available limit order in the order book, so taker fees apply.

 

3. Potential for slippage

There is a risk of being executed at a less favorable price than expected in times of liquidity shortages and price spikes.
