Market Order
A market order is an instruction to buy or sell an asset immediately at the best available price. It guarantees execution but does not guarantee the execution price.
In oil trading, market orders are often used when execution speed is critical, such as closing risk before expiry or responding to unexpected news. They are common in highly liquid contracts where price impact is minimal.
However, in less liquid markets, market orders can result in significant slippage, especially for large trade sizes. Traders must be aware of current depth and volatility.
Market orders are simple but powerful tools, requiring discipline and situational awareness to use effectively.
