You have a (market) BUY order > SLIPPAGE : what is it about?
if our order can not be satisfied with the lowest price on the seller side (can not totally fill your order with the lowest possible)
then it will move up to the next lowest asking price >> SLIPPAGE
RISK of market orders!
slip can be high if we place large orders… or in case of a flash crash
Limit orders advantage
we can set a limit how much Slippage can happen
When Selling we need to set
When Selling weneed to set a minimum price (limit order)
When Buying we need to set
When Buying we need to set a maximum price (limit order)
Buy Limit orders taker/maker position
Buy Limit order on the Buy side >> Maker
Buy Limit order on the Sell side >> Taker
(both protects from Slippage)

STOP order
STOP (market) order:
Market order with a stop price (determines when the market order dispatched in the orderbook
>> delayed order: delayed until the STOP is triggered)
Similar to Limit orders, instead of a limit price they will have a Stop price > but similar permutations > 4 configurations
can have limit price > STOP LIMIT orders > 16 config

STOP Sell order warning
Sell side market order will be triggered when the price will be equal or less than STOP price
It will be executed at the highest bid (the highest bid what will be set in the future when the STOP price is triggering the market order dispatch;
if at that time there is a big sell off > the market price can run down extremely quickly
> our market order might take very low price…
>> slipagge risk, we get a warning notification) >> the price can be even lower…)
