How to place a market order:
-
Go to the Markets page and find a market you want to trade.
-
Select the Buy or Sell tab.
-
Choose Market as the order type.
-
Enter the number of shares you want.
-
Click Buy (or Sell) to execute instantly.
Example:
If "Yes" is priced at 70¢ and you place a market buy for 10 shares, you'll purchase them immediately for about $7.00 plus fees.
Market orders are the fastest way to enter or exit a position but unlike limit orders, you don't control the exact price.
Placing a Market Order
Before you trade, go to the Markets page and pick a market that interests you.
Simple enough and once you're comfortable, you can move on to more advanced order types like Limit Orders for greater price control.
