What is a market order? (Emirex.com)

Last modified:


It is an order to buy or sell a coin immediately.

This type of order guarantees that the order will be executed, but does not guarantee the execution price. A market order generally will be executed at or near the current bid (for a sell order) or ask (for a buy order) price.


Market orders are known for their simplicity, immediacy, efficiency, and ability to, in most cases, completely fill. However, market orders have the risk of slippage.

Note: It is important for investors to remember that the last-traded price is not necessarily the price at which a market order will be executed.
