Market Orders

A Market Order is the fastest way to trade on Cabana. It executes your buy or sell order immediately at the current market price.

Cabana uses meta-aggregation to give you the best price, every time. When you place a Market Order, we quote DFlow, Jupiter, Wave and Pyth simultaneously and auto-pick the best one for your trade. No toggles, no guesswork, just the best available price in one click.

That’s deeper liquidity, smarter routing, and faster execution, all built in.

Market Orders are ideal for traders who prioritize speed and simplicity while still benefiting from up-to-date market data. Use the detailed market view to enhance your strategy with real-time insights.
