Market Orders
Execute immediately at current price. Fast but includes slippage. Avoid during news.
Limit Orders
Fill only at your price or better. Buy limit below price, sell limit above. Risk: may never fill.
Stop Orders
Become market order at your trigger price. Buy stop above (breakout), sell stop below (stop loss).
