What is a market order and how is it executed?
A market order is an instruction to buy or sell shares immediately at the best available current price. It is the fastest type of stock market order, ensuring execution as long as there are willing buyers or sellers in the market.
Unlike limit orders, which allow traders to set a specific price at which they are willing to trade, market orders prioritize speed over price precision. The execution price could vary slightly from the last quoted price due to changes in the market.
Understanding the purpose and mechanics of both market orders and limit orders is essential for making informed trading decisions.
