# Order Types

Wick supports multiple order types, giving you flexibility and control over how trades are executed.

***

<details>

<summary>Market Orders</summary>

A **Market Order** executes immediately at the best available price.

* **Best for:** Quick entries and exits.
* **Note:** Execution is guaranteed, but the price may vary slightly depending on liquidity.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Stops</summary>

A **Stop Order** triggers a market or limit order once a specific price is reached.

* **Best for:** Entering trades after confirmation or cutting losses quickly.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Take Profit (TP) &#x26; Stop Loss (SL)</summary>

These are protective orders linked to your position.

* **Take Profit (TP):** Automatically closes your trade once your profit target is reached.
* **Stop Loss (SL):** Automatically closes your trade if losses hit a certain threshold.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wickdottrade.gitbook.io/wick/trading/order-types.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
