Market Order A Market Order is an order to buy or sell at the prevailing market price. The execution of this Order results in the opening of a trade. Orders are bought at the ASK price and sold at the BID price. Stop Loss and Take Profit Orders can be included in a Market Order during its opening, or after it’s placed.

Pending Orders A Pending Order is an Order that allows the user to buy or sell at a pre-defined price, sometime in the future. Pending Orders are executed once the price reaches a pre-defined level.
Under certain trading conditions, it may be impossible to execute these Orders at the requested price. In this case, the order will execute at the next best available price.
Stop Loss and Take Profit orders can be included in a Pending Order. Also, pending orders are good till canceled, meaning they will not expire and will either remain active until they are either filled or canceled. Buy Stop: This is an Order to buy at a specified price (the ‘stop price') that is higher than the current market price. Once the market reaches the ‘stop price’, the ‘stop order’ is triggered and treated as a Market Order. Sell Stop: This is an Order to sell at a specified price (the ‘stop price') that is lower than the current market price. Once the market reaches the ‘stop price’, the ‘stop order’ is triggered and treated as a Market Order.
