Maker and taker are execution outcomes
A limit order is not automatically a maker order. If it crosses the order book and executes immediately, it can be charged at the taker rate.
Price control and execution certainty conflict
Market orders favor execution but surrender price control. Limit orders set a boundary but can remain unfilled. Stop orders add a trigger and therefore another condition to document.
Measure the completed trade
Compare the expected price with the volume-weighted average execution price, then add trading fees, funding where applicable, and the cost of closing or withdrawing.
| Order type | Primary behavior | Main cost risk |
|---|---|---|
| Market | Prioritizes immediate execution | Usually taker; spread and slippage can dominate |
| Limit | Sets a maximum buy or minimum sell price | Maker only if it rests on the book before execution |
| Stop-market | Triggers a market order after a condition | Execution price can differ materially in fast markets |
| Stop-limit | Triggers a limit order | Price is controlled, but the order may remain unfilled |
