• Market order is an order to open a position at the current market price.
• Pending order is an order to open a position once the price reaches a certain predefined level.

• Buy Limit is an order to buy an asset at a price lower than the current one. Traders usually open it in anticipation that the asset price will rise after achieving a certain support level.
• Buy Stop is an order to buy an asset at a price higher than the current one. Traders usually open it in anticipation that the asset price will continue to rise further after breaking above a certain resistance level.
