#### **2. Set up Your Parameters**

Market / Limit , Buy / Sell.

* **For Market orders:** They are used to open a trade immediately and will be executed at the current market price (plus spread).
* **For Limit orders:** They are employed when aiming to go long at a price lower than the present value or to go short if the price reaches higher than the current level. The execution occurs at the exact price set, provided it reaches the specified threshold (plus spread).
