Multiple order types available when trading on Binance — which should you use? sign up for Binance to see the trading interface, and download the Binance APP to practice.
Market Orders
Execute immediately at the best available price. Simplest but no price control.
Limit Orders
Execute only at your specified price. You control the price but may wait.
Stop-Loss / Take-Profit Orders
Conditional orders that trigger when price reaches a threshold. Set a trigger price, then the order executes as market or limit.
OCO Orders (One-Cancels-Other)
Combine take-profit and stop-loss. Whichever triggers first executes; the other auto-cancels.
Example: Holding BTC with:
- Take-profit at 65,000
- Stop-loss at 57,000 Whichever hits first executes, the other cancels.

Beginner Recommendation
Start with market orders for simplicity. Learn limit orders next for better pricing. Add stop-loss orders once you understand risk management — they help protect positions without watching charts.
