Market Order:

A market order is the most frequently placed type of order. A market order is an order to buy or sell a stock at the best available price. Generally, this type of order will be executed immediately. However, the price at which a market order will be executed is not guaranteed. It is important for investors to remember that the last-traded price is not necessarily the price at which a market order will be executed. In fast-moving markets, the price at which a market order will execute often deviates from the last-traded price or “real time” quote.

Examples of the effect of fast moving markets are when:

• an investor places a market order to buy 1000 shares of XYZ stock when the best offer price is $3.00 per share. If other orders are executed first, the investor’s market order may be executed at a higher price.

• a fast-moving market may cause parts of a large market order to execute at different prices. When an investor places a market order to buy 1000 shares of XYZ stock at $3.00 per share. In a fast-moving market, 500 shares of the order could execute at $3.00 per share and the other 500 shares execute at a higher price.

• a market order is placed to buy a newly issued stock that begins trading for the first time on the secondary market might be executed at a much higher price than the offering price.
