An order type is a set of instructions for how and when a trade executes, and the gap between a market order and a limit order is often the gap between the price you saw and the price you got. Slippage is what fills that gap on thin books, and a stop loss is only as reliable as the order type behind it. These guides cover the full menu Hyperliquid offers, from market and limit to stop and take profit, how to read the orderbook before placing one, how slippage forms during fast moves, and how order choice fits into managing an open position.
