Market Orders
Execute immediate trades at the best available price using natural language.
Overview
Market orders buy or sell tokens instantly at the current market price. They prioritize speed of execution over price—your order fills immediately against available liquidity.
When to use market orders:
You need immediate execution
Price slippage is acceptable for your trade size
When to consider limit orders instead:
You want a specific entry/exit price
The token has thin liquidity
You're trading larger sizes where slippage matters
