### Order Types

Boba advanced perpetuals offers several order types.

<table><thead><tr><th width="216.6640625">Order Type</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Market</td><td>Executes immediately at the best available price. Guarantees fill, not price. Use when speed matters more than exact entry.</td></tr><tr><td>Limit</td><td>Executes only at your specified price or better. Guarantees price, not fill. Sits in the order book until matched or canceled.</td></tr><tr><td>TWAP</td><td>(Time-Weighted Average Price) Breaks a large order into smaller chunks executed over a set time period. Reduces market impact and achieves an average entry price.</td></tr><tr><td>Scale</td><td>Places multiple limit orders at incrementally different price levels. Builds or exits a position gradually across a price range.</td></tr><tr><td>Stop Limit</td><td>Triggers a limit order when price hits your stop price. Two prices: stop (activation) and limit (execution). Risk of no fill if price gaps through.</td></tr><tr><td>Stop Market</td><td>Triggers a market order when price hits your stop price. Guarantees exit but not price. Standard for stop-losses.</td></tr><tr><td>Take Limit</td><td>Triggers a limit order when price reaches your profit target. Used for take-profit with price protection.</td></tr><tr><td>Take Market</td><td>Triggers a market order when price reaches your profit target. Guarantees the take-profit executes, accepts slippage.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.boba.xyz/perpetuals/advanced-mode.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
