The correct choice depends on whether confirmation, price improvement, or immediate execution matters most.<\/p>\n<h2>Market Execution<\/h2>\n<p>A market order requests execution at the best available price. During fast conditions, the final fill can differ from the price displayed because liquidity changes before execution completes.<\/p>\n<p>Slippage is not always negative; it may improve or worsen a fill. Traders should test around news and session openings where execution conditions can change quickly.<\/p>\n<h2>Pending Orders<\/h2>\n<p>Buy limits and sell limits seek entry after a pullback. Buy stops and sell stops seek entry after price breaks through a trigger level.<\/p>\n<p>Pending orders should include an expiry or regular review. A setup can become invalid even when the order price has not yet been touched.<\/p>\n<h2>Practical Checklist<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Match order type to the setup logic.<\/li>\n<li>Set invalidation before activation.<\/li>\n<li>Remove stale pending orders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"fxp-risk-note\"><strong>Risk note:<\/strong> Educational content does not guarantee trading results.
