# Market vs Limit

Supercexy supports the two most common order types in crypto trading: **Market Orders** and **Limit Orders**. Understanding the difference helps you execute trades with more precision and control.

**Market Orders**

A **Market Order** executes immediately at the best available price.

* Ideal when you want **instant execution**.
* Useful during high volatility or when entering/exiting positions quickly.
* You may experience **slippage** if the market is moving fast or liquidity is thin.

Example:\
You click *Buy BTC* with a market order; the system fills your order instantly at the current market price.

**Limit Orders**

A **Limit Order** allows you to set the exact price at which you want to buy or sell.

* The trade only executes if the market reaches your chosen price.
* Gives you full **price control**.
* Not guaranteed to fill if the market never touches your limit price.
* You avoid slippage and can place orders ahead of time.

**Example:**\
BTC is trading at $100,000.\
You place a *Buy Limit Order* at $95,000; the order will execute only if the price drops to $95,000.
