# Automated Market Order
## Overview
Automatically trigger a market order whenever your target condition is met. This can be for a single trade (conditional market order, take profit market, stop loss market), part of automated portfolio rebalancing/DCA, synthetic asset rebalancing, or even on-chain copy trading.
Your tokens are immediately swapped at the best available prices as the selected protocol dynamically reroutes your trade to more capital efficient sources.
## Potential Alpha
* **Buy Low, Sell High:** Automatically trade at your desired price and earn from any token appreciation.
## Strategy Building Blocks

## 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.factor.fi/getting-started/strategy-cheatsheet/swaps-cheatsheet/automated-market-order.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
