Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Trading:
Stop-Limit Orders Explained
A stop-limit order is an order to place a regular buy or sell order (also known as a "limit order") when the highest bid or lowest ask reaches a specified price, known as the "stop." This can be helpful for protecting gains or minimizing losses.
Usually a stop-limit order will be executed at a specified price, or better (i.e. higher or lower than the specified price, depending on whether limit order relates to a bid or ask, respectively), after a given stop price has been reached. Once the stop price is reached, the stop-limit order becomes a limit order to buy or sell at the limit price or better.
Limit Orders Explained
You should use limit orders when you are not in a rush to buy or sell. Unlike market orders, the limit orders are not executed instantly, so you need to wait until your ask/bid price is reached. Limit orders allow you to get better selling and buying prices and they are usually placed on major support and resistance levels. You may also split your buy/sell order into many smaller limit orders, so you get a cost average effect.
When Should I Use a Market Order?
Market orders are handy in situations where getting your order filled is more important than getting a certain price. This means that you should only use market orders if you are willing to pay higher prices and fees caused by the slippage. In other words, market orders should only be used if you are in a rush.
Sometimes you need to buy/sell as soon as possible. So if you need to get into a trade right away or get yourself out of trouble, thats when market orders come in handy.
However, if youre just coming into crypto for the first time and you are using Bitcoin to buy some altcoins, avoid using market orders because you will be paying way more than you should. In this case, you should use limit orders.
