You now understand how profit is calculated.
→ Profit… or Loss.

In the professional world, this is called:
👉 how do you actually enter a trade?
👉 how do you tell the market what you want to do?

CORE_IDEA

You interact with the market through Orders.

An order is simply:
👉 your instruction to the market

MARKET_SIMPLIFIED

The market is a system of requests:
→ people who want to buy
→ people who want to sell

TWO_MAIN_TYPES

There are many types of orders.

But everything is built on two core ones:
👉 Market Order
👉 Limit Order

If you understand these — you understand execution.

MARKET_ORDER (SPEED)

A Market Order means:
👉 “Execute now — at the best available price”

You don’t control the price. You control the speed.

Example:

Price is around 10$.

→ you send a Market Buy
→ you get filled instantly
→ but not always at the exact price (10.1, 10.2…)

Market = speed over price

LIMIT_ORDER (CONTROL)

A Limit Order means:
👉 “Execute only at my price… or better”

You control the price. But not the execution.

Example:

Price is around 10$.

→ you place a Limit Buy at 9.
→ your order waits until someone agrees to sell at 9

👉 Limit = price over speed

STOP_ORDERS (PROTECTION)

There is one more type you must understand:
👉 Stop Orders

This is an “if–then” instruction:
→ “If price reaches this level — execute my order”

This is how you manage risk.

A Stop-Loss is an automated order:
“If price goes against me — I was wrong. Close the position.”

And the opposite:
👉 Take-Profit

An automated order to lock in profit — when price reaches your target.

THE_INTERACTION

Now combine everything:
→ Entry
→ Exit
→ PnL
→ Direction

Every trade is simply:
→ how you enter
→ how you exit

Using orders.

CRITICAL_UNDERSTANDING

*{Liquidity = available buyers and sellers at any moment. No liquidity = no exit}

When you send a Market Order:
👉 you take liquidity (you trade against existing orders)

👉 when you place a Limit Order:
you provide liquidity (you place orders others can trade against)

This is how the market actually functions.

THE_EDGE

Professionals don’t just choose direction. They choose execution. Because your entry and exit define your PnL.

A bad entry can kill a good trade.

Now you understand how traders interact with the market.

The next step:
👉 what does this system actually look like?
👉 where do all these orders go?
