# Market Orders

A **Market Order** is an instruction to buy or sell immediately at the best available price in the order book.

### **When to Use？**

* When you want your order to be executed instantly.
* Suitable for entering or exiting a position quickly, regardless of slight price changes.

### **Key Points**

* Execution is guaranteed, but the price may vary slightly due to market liquidity (slippage).
* Best for urgent trades, not for precise price control.

### How to Avoid Slippage Risk When Using Market Orders？

* On the **Futures Order Placement** page, select the token you wish to trade.
* After confirming the trade direction, choose **Market Order**.
* Enter the order quantity.
* Click **Max Slippage Setting**, then enter the maximum slippage you are willing to allow.
