Listen "Market vs. Limit Orders: When to Use Each in Volatile Markets"

Episode Synopsis

Volatility can be an opportunity—or a disaster—depending on how you trade it. In this episode of Hedge Heads, Jon Prischmann and Ryan Tungseth break down what's moving the markets, how to execute the right trades, and why order selection matters more than ever. Markets aren't trending cleanly, news is shifting fast, and traders are struggling to find their footing. We dive into the difference between market and limit orders, the role of stops in volatile conditions, and the psychology behind why traders hold onto losers for too long. But that's not all—there are major market developments unfolding, and while we can't give recommendations, we'll discuss what's catching our attention and why it matters. With unpredictable price action, shifting global trade discussions, and hedge strategies evolving in real-time, this is the kind of market that separates disciplined traders from those who get caught off guard. Tune in now to hear what's moving and how to think strategically in these conditions. (Disclaimer: The risk of loss in trading commodity interests can be substantial.
