public class MarketOrder extends Order
DTO representing a market order

A market order is a buy or sell order to be executed immediately at current market prices. As long as there are willing sellers and buyers, market orders are filled. Market orders are therefore used when certainty of execution is a priority over price of execution. Use market orders with caution, and review LimitOrder in case it is more suitable.
