# Market Order

A **Market Order** is the simplest and quickest way to trade on Oxium. 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 Oxium DApp sidebar, click the **Trade** icon (two candlestick icons) to open the trading interface.
