Market orders

A market order is a request to buy or sell a stock immediately at the best available current price. It prioritizes speed of execution over the exact price, ensuring your order is filled quickly. Because prices can fluctuate rapidly, the actual price you get may differ slightly from the last quoted price. Market orders are ideal when you want certainty of execution and are okay with potentially paying a premium or receiving a slightly lower price than expected. They are commonly used for quick trades when the main concern is getting the transaction completed promptly.
