Market orders and how to place them
Market order is a buy or sell order that will be executed immediately at the current market rate. It only requires the volume of the order to be set.
Upsides: The order is executed immediately.
Downsides: The exact price of the order may be different from the current market price. If the order book has low liquidity, the average price may be less profitable than the market quotation.
For example:
The trader wants to exchange DASH/EUR in the volume of 1 DASH. If the market order is placed, it will be executed as following:
1. 0,06 DASH will be bought at 63,05 EUR;
2. 0,24 DASH will be bought at 63,18 EUR;
3. 0,43 DASH will be bought at 63,31 EUR;
4. 0,17 DASH will be bought at 63,44 EUR;
5. 0,1 DASH will be bought at 63,57 EUR.
The total position price will be 63,31 which is different from the first price at the order book.
