A market order to buy or sell securities will be executed immediately at the current available market price.
A market order guarantees a fill or execution, but unlike a limit order, a market order provides no price protection. The price at which you actually execute (or fill) the trade can deviate from the last traded price, ending up with a price higher or lower than the market value you previously saw due to high market volatility or low trading volume of certain securities.
