basics on trading, illustrated on gmx
price chart
- the current price is the price of the most recent trade.
- it varies on whether that trade was a buy or a sell.
- high volume means the price movement is more reliable (consensus of a large number of market participants).
- candlesitck chart showing open/start (O), high (h), low (low), anc close/end (c) prices for a given time window.


order book
- the order book is made of two sides, asks (sell, offers) and bids (buy).
- the best ask (the lowest price someone is willing to sell ) > the best bid (the highest price someone is willing to buy).
- the difference between the best ask and the best bid is called spread.
- market order: best price possible, right now. it takes liquidity from the market and usually has higher fees.
- limit order (passive order): specify the price and qty you are willing to buy or sell at, and then wait for the match.
- stop orders: allow you to set a maximum price for your market orders.
