# Market Order
A **Market Order** is the simplest and quickest way to trade on Mangrove. It allows you to buy or sell a token at the current market price and is executed immediately.
**Step 1: Access the Trade Page**
In the Mangrove DApp sidebar, click the **Trade** icon (two candlestick icons) to open the trading interface.
**Step 2: Select Trading Pair**
Choose the trading pair you wish to trade (e.g., **WETH/USDC**) from the dropdown at the top of the page.
**Step 3: Choose Order Type**
In the right-side panel, select Buy or Sell, then select **Market** under the **Buy** or **Sell** tab.
**Step 4: Enter Trade Details**
* **Send Amount**: Input the amount of the token you want to buy or sell. Use shortcuts like **25%**, **50%**, **75%**, or **Max** to quickly select a portion of your balance.
* **Receive Amount**: This will auto-calculate based on the current market price.
**Step 5: Set Slippage Tolerance**
Define an acceptable slippage tolerance (e.g., 0.5%) to manage potential price variations during execution.
**Step 6: Review Fees**
The system displays the transaction fee for the market order.
**Step 7: Place the Market Order**
* Click **Buy** or **Sell** to execute the market order instantly.
* **Confirm the transaction** in your wallet.
Your order will execute at the best available price, and your tokens will be transferred immediately upon confirmation.
