Market order: speed over price

Lesson 4 of 10 in Order Types. Trader grade, 70 XP. Free to read, mission runs live in the terminal.

» A market order fills immediately at whatever price is available.

» Use it when getting IN or OUT matters more than the exact price.

» Downside: in fast or thin stocks you can get a worse fill than you expected (slippage).

» Place a market order in the sim and feel how instant it is.

Watching a concept is not the same as running it, so every Academy lesson ships with a live mission inside the Tapeboard terminal. This one runs on the paper trading simulator (/simulator). Reading is free; running missions takes a free account.
