An Introduction to Market Orders

Most traders don't really have time to decide what price they want to buy or sell a crypto at. Every second matters when you are trading, so they don't want to spend time pondering which price they want to buy or sell, especially if it is a highly liquid market. So the use of Market Orders has become popular among traders and these orders get filled almost immediately at the latest posted price or better. Market Orders are the equivalent of an impulse purchase. You see some new game your friend can’t stop talking about, and you feel a strong desire to own it right now.
