What are market order and limit order?
A market order lets you buy or sell a stock immediately at the best available price. It gets executed quickly but may not guarantee a specific price. On the other hand, a limit order lets you set the exact price at which you're willing to buy or sell a stock. However, it won’t be executed if the stock doesn't reach the specified price. In short, market orders prioritise speed over price, while limit orders prioritise price over speed.
