Order Types

Methods for executing trades. Market orders execute immediately at the best price (fast but may have slippage). Limit orders execute only at your price or better (precise but may not fill). Stop-loss triggers a sell when price drops to your threshold. On DEXs, most swaps are effectively market orders with slippage tolerance.
