A market order refers to buying or selling a stock at the current market price. Do note that you have no guarantee on the transaction price as your order may be filled at any price, as compared to a limit order. In most market conditions, a market order can be immediately executed.

If you want to place a market order, select 'Market order' and input the 'quantity' of shares.
