What is Buying and Selling

 What is Buying and Selling?

There are several types of orders that you can direct to a broker. The most common type of order, which is a regular buy or sell order, is called a market order. Another type of order is a limit order in which you can ask the broker to place a trade only if the price reaches a specific level. In a stop order, you can ask the broker to sell your shares in order to prevent significant losses if the price drops to a certain level because if it falls to that level it is likely to fall further. and your loss is likely to increase.
