⚠️ Important Notes About Market Orders

A market order may not always be executed, particularly in markets with high volatility (rapid price movements) or when trading low-liquidity or lesser-traded assets.


In such cases, market liquidity may be insufficient to fill the order, and it may be rejected.

In the Advanced View, you can adjust the slippage tolerance (allowed price deviation), which may improve the likelihood of successful execution.

If a market order does not execute as expected, we recommend using a limit order instead.
