Once a trading account has been successfully created, users can deposit funds into their public wallet address (provided by Binance) to initiate trades. The Binance exchange offers support for four primary types of trade orders: limit, market, stop-limit, and one-cancels-the-other (OCO) orders. Limit orders are executed solely at the limit price designated by the trader. Market orders are executed immediately at the most favorable market price available. Stop-limit orders only become valid once the price reaches a specified level. An OCO order is comprised of two orders where one executed order cancels out the other.
