Buying and Selling with Market Orders

A market order is an order that allows you to buy or sell a token at 'the best available price' - this means that you buy or sell immediately at the nearest prices.

Market orders may experience slippage - which happens when the amount of tokens available at the price you press buy or sell is less than the amount you want and you get the next best price.
