An order to buy or sell straight away at the best price available. The price is not guaranteed.

Market order in more detail

A market order buys or sells straight away at the best price available. It is the simplest order and the default in most apps.

A stop order waits until the price reaches a level you choose, the stop price. Then it becomes a market order. People use stops to sell if a price falls past a set point.
