There are multiple order types available on Tokenize Xchange. In this helpful article, we walk you through how to use market orders.

One of the main order types you’ll see in the form on Tokenize is Market Order.

What is a Market Order?

A market order is an order that will be executed immediately and in full by buying or selling from the bids and asks in the order book. With a market order, you choose the quantity of the asset you want to buy or sell and then once confirmed, you will buy or sell that quantity from the bids or asks available. This is the simplest type of order as it means you don’t need to specify a price.

Market order is the quickest way to buy or sell your cryptocurrency and tokens. Once received by the system, a market order is matched and filled right away, as long as there are buyers and sellers on the Order Book.

Using a market order to trade, means you accept to trade at the current market price.
