How to trade at btc-e?

[shinjikenny123]

I'm new to trading and I'd like to know how to make a "market order" and "limit order" in btc-e?
Based on what I've read, if I put a buy market order, its possible that I would get coins at a higher price than the price I input when I make the order.
And with a limit order, it will only get executed at the price I want. Correct??
So when I put a buy order on btc-e webpage, is it a market or limit order? How do I make a different kind of order?

A buy limit order allows you to put in a price you are willing to pay for a particular item and if the price reaches that point then the order will execute.

A limit order is an order to buy a particular item at a specific price or better.

That being said, be careful with BTC-e lots of people claiming to have issues with this site - money going missing and other things of that nature.
