Market Orders

A Market Order is the simplest type of trade.

Placing a Market Buy/Sell Order with an instrument is treated as a definitive commitment to enter/exit the market at the current price. Usually, Market Orders are executed instantly after their placement. Nevertheless, depending on the market conditions and the respective instrument's liquidity it may take longer for an order to be filled.

N.B. There is an element of risk associated with market orders. Market volatility can influence the price at which your orders execute. This order type guarantees the buying or selling of shares but does not guarantee the price at which it executes. To trade at a specific price, consider using a Limit Order instead.

• Market 'Buy' Order will execute on the best available asking price.
• Market 'Sell' Order will execute on the best available bid price.
