## How Market Orders Work

A market order buys or sells at the best available price right now. Unlike limit orders, market orders execute immediately but the exact price may vary slightly due to slippage.

## Buying

The Execution Panel provides preset buy amounts:

* Click a preset button (0.1, 0.5, 1 SOL) to buy that amount
* Or enter a custom amount in the input field
* Click **Buy** to execute

## Selling

Sell buttons let you exit positions by percentage:

| Button | Action                               |
| ------ | ------------------------------------ |
| 25%    | Sell one quarter of your position    |
| 50%    | Sell half of your position           |
| 75%    | Sell three quarters of your position |
| 100%   | Sell your entire position            |

## Wallet Selector

If you have multiple wallets connected, select which wallet to trade from using the wallet dropdown in the Execution Panel.

## Exit Strategies

When buying, you can attach [exit strategies](/shuriken-terminal/exit-strategies) that automatically create Take Profit and Stop Loss orders alongside your buy.
