Market orders
A market order seeks immediate execution at the best available price. The final fill can differ from the price shown moments earlier.
Limit orders
A limit order sets a maximum buy price or minimum sell price. It may remain unfilled if the market never reaches that condition.
Spread and order-book depth
Execution still depends on available counterparties and depth. Larger trades can interact with multiple price levels and incur more slippage.
What to check
Before confirming, review order type, size, quoted price, fees and the platform's execution terms.
FAQ
Does a limit order guarantee execution?
No. It only sets a price condition; the market still needs to reach it with enough liquidity.
Does a market order guarantee the displayed price?
No. The fill can move while the order is being executed.
