When to Use Market Orders​

Market orders are ideal when:

  • Speed is Priority: You want to enter or exit a position immediately
  • Market is Moving: Prices are changing rapidly and you don't want to miss the opportunity
  • Small Positions: For smaller trades where price precision is less critical
  • Emergency Exits: You need to close a position quickly due to changing circumstances

Important Considerations​

Slippage​

Market orders may experience slippage - the difference between expected and actual execution price. This typically occurs when:

  • Market is volatile
  • Large order size relative to available liquidity
  • Multiple traders are competing for the same positions

Market Impact​

Large market orders can move prices, especially in smaller markets. Consider breaking large orders into smaller pieces.
