Market order

Buying and selling at market price. In a market order, you'll buy at whatever the price the stock is currently trading at. The advantage is that it's easier and your order is guaranteed to be filled. For most investors, a market order is all they need. The only problem with market orders is that in a volatile market the price an order is filled at can deviate significantly from the last-traded price.
