## How It Works

1. Select **Buy** or **Sell**
2. Choose the outcome — **Yes** or **No**
3. Enter the number of shares
4. Select **Trade** — your order matches instantly

Market orders are simple and efficient, especially for those seeking immediate execution.

<Warning>
  Market orders execute at the **best available price**, which may differ from the displayed price if the orderbook moves between when you view it and when your order is matched.
</Warning>

## When to Use Market Orders

* You want **instant execution**
* The market has tight spreads and good liquidity
* You're not sensitive to small price differences
