# 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 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.
