In a market order, you can buy/sell securities at the current market price. Market orders generally work on supply and demand and guarantee quick execution. These are useful when the price is critical. While market orders guarantee quick execution, slippage can be a potential risk.
Let's understand slippage: when markets are volatile your intended execution price to buy/sell a stock will differ from the actual execution price.
