summary: Create market order
description: >
The endpoint creates a [market trading order](/glossary#market-order).
The matching engine executes the order immediately at the best available
price. For buy orders, `amount` represents the total in quote (money)
currency to spend. For sell orders, `amount` represents the quantity in
base (stock) currency to sell. Minimum and maximum values are
market-dependent. Query `GET /api/v4/public/markets` for `minAmount`,
`minTotal`, and `maxTotal`.
Rate limit: 10000 requests/10 sec.
