Market Buy
A market buy is an aggressive buy instruction that executes against available sell liquidity in the order book. It typically trades against one or more asks.
Why it matters to you
Market buys consume available sell liquidity. If buying demand is larger than the liquidity available at the current ask, execution can continue at higher prices, contributing to upward price movement and slippage.
